Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana is a health insurance programme launched for the economically weak people of the nation. This Central Government scheme is known for providing health insurance coverage to non-recognized sector workers. The workers who fall under the BPL line are treated eligible to avail of the benefits, and their family members are also considered beneficiaries under this scheme. Under the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana, the beneficiaries are offered Cashless Health Insurance for their hospitalization and treatment in both private as-well-as public hospitals.
Entailing nearly about 93% of the total workforce in India, the workers in the unorganized sectors have been struggling continuously to face health issues and other health-related problems. The government has been executing social security measures for these occupational groups, but the coverage is quite minute. Many small-scale workers have been struggling without any health insurance coverage.
Intending to overcome this insecurity of the workers of unorganized sectors, the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana has been launched. The motive behind the launch of this scheme is to provide aid and protection to economically weak people or poor households living with reduced circumstances.
