About PM-JAY in Uttar Pradesh
Uttar Pradesh is India’s most populous state with over 24 crore people, making PM-JAY coverage here critical. The state merged its Chief Minister Jan Arogya Yojana with PM-JAY, extending coverage to families with annual income below ₹1.8 lakh. KGMU Lucknow and BHU Varanasi are two of India’s premier government medical institutions empanelled under the scheme. Due to the state’s vast geography, patients from Eastern UP often travel to Varanasi or Lucknow for tertiary care, while those from Western UP frequently access hospitals in Delhi and Gurugram using PM-JAY’s portability feature.
