CHANDIGARH: The Bhagwant Mann government on Tuesday scrapped bureaucratic hurdles in its flagship Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana (MMSY), announcing instant on-the-spot registration with just Aadhaar and Voter ID at Common Service Centres (CSC) across the state. Chairing a high-level review meeting, Health Minister Dr Balbir Singh also unveiled performance-based incentives for Village Level Entrepreneurs, promising preferential employment opportunities within the Punjab Government for top performers, while launching a statewide mobilisation drive to ensure 100 percent saturation of the scheme.
Chairing a high level virtual meeting with Cabinet Ministers, MLAs and Deputy Commissioners, Punjab Health Minister Dr Balbir Singh directed officials to move beyond traditional outreach methods and expand the registration drive. He informed that any Punjab resident possessing an Aadhaar card and a Punjab Voter Identity Card can simply walk into any Common Service Centre (CSC) or designated registration camp to enrol in the scheme.
In a unique move to boost efficiency, Dr Balbir Singh announced performance based incentives for Village Level Entrepreneurs operating the Common Service Centres. Recognising their critical role as the last mile connect for digital governance, he said, “Top performing Village Level Entrepreneurs who expedite the registration drive will be rewarded with preferential employment opportunities within the Punjab Government.”
He added that this initiative is expected to galvanise the Village Level Entrepreneur network and turn every Common Service Centre into a hub of activity dedicated to securing health coverage for the people of Punjab.
