This was stated by Health and Family Welfare Minister Mukesh Mahaling on Monday. Over 3.5 crore people will get health cards in the state and no one will be deprived of the health insurance schemes, he told reporters.

Stating that the Central team has made survey for implementation of Ayushman Bharat Yojana, the Minister said that the state government is committed to increase the number of medical colleges and nursing colleges in the new year to strengthen the healthcare sector.
