Sanjivani Yojana vs Ayushman Bharat Yojana: Assembly elections are to be held in Delhi next year. To woo the public before the elections, the Delhi government is making a lot of announcements. Now the Aam Aadmi Party government of Delhi has announced Sanjeevani Yojana for the elderly. Under this scheme, elderly people above 60 years of age living in Delhi will be able to get free treatment.
This scheme has been launched in Delhi at a time when the Central Government already has the Ayushman Bharat scheme.
