Ayushman Bharat Yojana is not primarily a poverty alleviation programme in the sense of directly providing income, employment, or asset creation for the poor. It is a national health insurance scheme.
Programmes like the Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP), Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana (which includes National Rural Livelihoods Mission and National Urban Livelihoods Mission), and National Family Benefit Scheme (part of National Social Assistance Programme) are specifically designed to address poverty through various means like self-employment, wage employment, and social security benefits for the poor.
