RAS question
How many families are registered under Mukhyamantri Ayushman Arogya (MAA) Yojana?
Correct answer: (D) 1.33 crore.
Around 1.33 crore families are registered under the Mukhyamantri Ayushman Arogya Yojana for cashless treatment.
Explanation
Mukhyamantri Ayushman Arogya Yojana is Rajasthan's cashless-treatment scheme for reducing high out-of-pocket health expenditure. The Economic Review 2024-25 says that around 1.33 crore families are registered under it, with eligible beneficiaries receiving cashless treatment at government and private empanelled hospitals for a wide range of medical services. This is why option D is the correct figure. The same review also records expenditure of ₹1,675 crore in 2024-25 up to December 2024, showing that the number refers to a large active health-insurance programme, not a smaller category such as RGHS families or a different health identifier count.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) 22 lakh refers to senior citizens under Ayushman Vay Vandan, not families registered under Mukhyamantri Ayushman Arogya Yojana.
- (B) 6.20 crore is the ABHA ID count, so it measures health IDs rather than MAA Yojana family registrations.
- (C) 13.65 lakh is the number of RGHS-covered families, not the registered-family count under MAA Yojana.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan Economy through social-sector schemes, especially health insurance coverage and public expenditure. Such figures recur in RAS because budget and Economic Review data are used to test whether candidates can distinguish similar welfare schemes and their coverage metrics.
