UP Government to Run Month-Long Ayushman Card Campaign from November 25

Mathura, October 13, 2026: The Uttar Pradesh government will run a month-long campaign to issue Ayushman cards to eligible beneficiaries who have not yet received them. The initiative, aimed at providing comprehensive healthcare benefits to the underprivileged, is scheduled to run from November 25 to December 25. According to official sources, the Health Department is the nodal agency and will coordinate with the Urban Development Department, Rural Development Department, Education Department, and the Information Department to implement the scheme across the district.

Dr. Anuj Kumar, the Nodal Officer for the Health Department, said the campaign will focus on individuals previously left out of the coverage, including families under the ‘Eligible Household’ category where only some members were registered. Additionally, all individuals aged 70 years and above who are listed on the official government portal are eligible to receive the cards. Dr. Kumar said eligibility will be strictly determined by the list generated from the survey conducted in 2011.

To obtain a card, beneficiaries are required to present their ration card and Aadhaar card. Applications can be submitted at various designated locations including Community Health Centers, Primary Health Centers, and the ‘Ayushman Arogya Mandir’ at the rural level. In rural areas, residents may also approach their respective Panchayat Assistants. For those residing in urban areas, cards can be obtained by visiting the District Hospital. The government-approved process also includes access through various ‘Jan Seva Kendras’ or Common Service Centers.

Addressing concerns regarding potential charges, Dr. Kumar clarified that there is no provision for any fee for this service from the government’s side. He stated that the issuance of these cards is provided at no cost, and any fees charged by private operators are not authorized. The campaign will cover both rural and urban areas throughout the district to ensure all eligible citizens are registered.
