As India observes Good Governance Week, marking the 100th birth anniversary of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee, people-centric schemes like PMJAY continue transforming lives. Kavita Khiyani, a 61-year-old widow from Vadodara, Gujarat, survived a critical heart condition without spending a rupee, thanks to Ayushman Bharat PMJAY–Mukhyamantri Amrutam. Diagnosed with a rare cardiac ailment requiring costly surgery, Kavita became eligible for treatment through swift formalities and an empanelled Ahmedabad hospital. Gujarat’s healthcare impact is evident: 1.20+ crore families covered, ₹10 lakh coverage per family, 2,090+ empanelled hospitals, and the highest claim settlement rate nationally. Kavita’s story exemplifies Atal Leadership, continuous development, and the transformative power of people-centric welfare schemes.
