RAS question
How many ABHA IDs have been generated in Rajasthan by December 2024?
Correct answer: (A) 6.20 crore.
By December 2024, Rajasthan had generated over 6.20 crore ABHA IDs.
Explanation
Rajasthan's Economic Review 2025-26 places ABHA within the Rajasthan Digital Health Mission and the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission. It describes ABHA as a digital health ID meant to create a central repository of individuals' health records, so that medical information can be accessed and shared more smoothly among healthcare providers. Against that digital-health backdrop, the review states that by December 2024, over 6.20 crore ABHA IDs had been generated in Rajasthan. The same line separately says that more than 88.67 lakh health records had been linked to these IDs. Therefore, the ABHA ID count is 6.20 crore-plus, while 88.67 lakh refers to linked health records, not generated IDs.
Why the other options are wrong
- (B) 88.67 lakh is the number of health records linked to ABHA IDs, not the number of ABHA IDs generated.
- (C) 3.20 crore understates the count because the Economic Review gives the generated ABHA ID figure as over 6.20 crore.
- (D) 1.33 crore refers to families registered under Mukhyamantri Ayushman Arogya Yojana, not to ABHA IDs generated.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan's digital health and welfare-delivery statistics under the Economy of Rajasthan syllabus. It recurs in RAS because examiners often ask candidates to separate headline scheme figures from related but different implementation metrics.
