We believe that the Foundation’s long term presence in the rural areas and their ability to empower children to bring about the desired change in the society will help us in achieving the desired awareness level for the scheme across the country.”

Mamta Saikia, CEO, Bharti Foundation, said, “We are delighted to partner with the NHA and support them in raising awareness about the benefits of the Ayushman Bharat scheme.”

The Foundation and NHA will conduct various community campaigns, parent meetings, rallies etc., and engage with local Panchayats and other community members to sensitize the underprivileged community about the objectives and benefits of the government's flagship programme.
