Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday released benefits under the PM CARES for Children scheme, including scholarships to school-going children, a health card under Ayushman Bharat, and financial support of Rs 10 lakh upon reaching the age of 23.
“I know how difficult the situation is for people who have lost their family members during the Covid-19 pandemic. This program is for the children who lost their parents during the pandemic,” said PM Modi. The PM CARES for Children Scheme, he explained, is an attempt to help such children.
“If a child needs an education loan for professional courses, for higher education, then PM-CARES will help in that too,” the prime minister said.
