HEFA was created to infuse fiscal discipline among government higher educational institutions by giving loans rather than budgetary grants.

10 Its purpose is to lend low-cost funds to government higher educational institutions, and will rise Rs1 trillion for the purpose. While HEFA was granted a budgetary allocation of Rs250 crores in the current budget, for FY19, an allocation of Rs2,750 crores is envisioned. Significantly, the mechanism by which HEFA raises funds and the capacity of institutions to repay loans (taken from HEFA) needs to be closely watched.

12 Prime Minister s Research Fellows (PMRF) Scheme Ministry of Human Resource Development 1,000 best students who have completed (or are in the final year of) B.

A maximum of 3,000 Fellows would be selected in a three year period beginning

13 Significance The scheme will help tapping talent pool of country for carrying out research indigenously in cutting edge science and technology domains. The research undertaken by fellows under this scheme will address national priorities at one hand and shortage of quality faculty in premier educational institutions of country on the other.

14 Ayushman Bharat Programme The Government has announced two major initiatives in health sector, as part of newly announced Ayushman Bharat programme.

15 Provisions The programme is aimed at making interventions to address health holistically, in primary, secondary and tertiary care systems. The initiatives under the programme are: Health and Wellness Centre National Health Protection Scheme

16 Health and Wellness Centre National Health Policy, 2017 envisioned Health and Wellness Centres as the foundation of India s health system. Under this, 1.5 lakh centres will bring health care system closer to the homes of people. The centres will provide comprehensive health care, including for non-communicable diseases and maternal and child health services. These will also provide free essential drugs and diagnostic services. Contribution of private sector through CSR and philanthropic institutions in adopting these centres is also envisaged.

17 National Health Protection Scheme This will cover over 10 crore poor and vulnerable families. This would translate to around 50 crore beneficiaries. The scheme provides coverage of upto Rs. 5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization. This is said to be the world s largest government funded health care programme.

18 Besides, 24 new Government Medical Colleges and Hospitals will be set up, by up-grading existing district hospitals in the country. This would ensure that there is at least 1 Medical College for every 3 Parliamentary Constituencies. Also, at least 1 Government Medical College in each State of the country. This is to further enhance accessibility of quality medical education and health care.

19 Significance Lakhs of families, at present, borrow or sell assets to receive inpatient treatment. The concern of the consequent impoverishment of poor and vulnerable families is a continuing one. Under the existing Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY), poor families get an annual coverage of Rs. 30,000. Several State governments have implemented or supplemented health protection schemes that provide varying coverage.

20 The present initiatives will supplement these in taking health care to a larger mass. Higher health insurance cover is also seen as leading to a higher life expectancy. The scheme could potentially ensure enhanced productivity and well being, averting wage loss and impoverishment.

21 Operation Greens The goal of the scheme is to double the farmers income by end of the year With the budget allocation of Rs. 500 Cr, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has announced about the Operation Green in Union Budget This scheme will facilitate the farmers of the nation. This will be in line with the operation flood. To reduce the fluctuation in the pricing of Onion, Tomatoes and Potatoes the scheme has been launched.

22 Key features For wellbeing of farmers The main objective behind the implementation of this scheme is to offer respite to the farmers from any loss that they incur due to low price. If the government can regulate the price, the farmers will not be forced to sell crops at low rates. Preventing crop cost fluctuations A greater percentage of farmers are associated with the cultivation of onions, tomatoes and potatoes. With this scheme, the authority will be able to prevent too much price deviations.

23 Doubling the farmer s income Another point, highlighted under the scheme is that the central government wants to help the farmers bring home more revenue by All agriculture related aspects of this scheme will assist in doubling the income of agricultural labors. Step towards price fixation The central government wants to take firm decision towards fixing the cost of crops. As of now, the FM announced that MSP of any crop needs to be at least 1.5 times the cultivation cost.

24 Construction of agricultural markets It has also been pointed out in the scheme that the central government will work towards the development of around 22,000 Gramin agrarian markets. Linking agricultural markets online The central government will make sure that around 470 APMC endorsed markets will also come up soon, and these will also get online representation for more exposure.

25 Q 1 Ayushman Bharat programme will build a New India The NHPS is innovative and path-breaking in the history of public health in India, and may have a transformative impact if implemented in an effective and coordinated manner. Comment Critically?
