PM Jan Arogya Yojana was launched in line with which Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)?

SDG 3
SDG 1
SDG 5
SDG 10

The correct answer is A. SDG 3.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. The 17 goals are interrelated and indivisible, and in order to leave no one behind, it is important to achieve them all.

SDG 3 is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. This includes reducing premature mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by one third by 2030, ensuring universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights, and achieving universal health coverage, including access to essential medicines and vaccines for all.

The Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), also known as Ayushman Bharat, is a national health insurance scheme launched by the Government of India in 2018. The scheme aims to provide free access to secondary and tertiary healthcare to over 100 crore Indians.

The PMJAY is in line with SDG 3 as it aims to improve the health and well-being of all Indians. The scheme will provide financial protection to poor and vulnerable families against high out-of-pocket expenditure on healthcare. This will help to reduce the burden of disease and improve the quality of life of the people.

The other options are not correct as they do not directly relate to the health and well-being of people. SDG 1 is to end poverty in all its forms everywhere. SDG 5 is to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. SDG 10 is to reduce inequality within and among countries.

I hope this helps!
