Hearing last PIL, CJI bats for inclusion of Indian healthcare system in PM-JAY
Saturday, 9 November 2024 In his final act as Chief Justice of India, D.Y. Chandrachud heard a petition advocating for the inclusion of traditional Indian healthcare practices, such as Ayurveda and Yoga, into the national health insurance program, PM-JAY. While dismissing a previous petition by the same advocate, the court acknowledged the importance of integrating these systems into mainstream healthcare.
Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, along with fellow ministers Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Dharmendra Pradhan, participated in the ‘Hamara Samvidhan, Hamara Samman’ padyatra program on November 25. The event marks the 75th anniversary of the Indian Constitution and aims to promote awareness about constitutional rights. Mandaviya also planted saplings to honor the contributions of women members of the Constituent Assembly. The campaign, which has seen regional events like the Bikaner inauguration by the Chief Justice of India, continues to spread awareness about legal rights and constitutional duties. The event also launched the Samvidhan Katta magazine and a special comic book showcasing beneficiaries of legal aid programs.
