Gujarat Allocates Rs 3,472 Crore for PMJAY-MA and GIDC Modernization

In a significant move to bolster healthcare and industrial development, the Gujarat government has earmarked Rs 3,472 crore in the 2026-27 budget. This allocation will be utilized for two key initiatives: the expansion and improvement of the PMJAY-MA scheme, which provides health insurance coverage to families in the state, and the modernization of the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC). The PMJAY-MA scheme has been instrumental in providing affordable healthcare to millions of Gujaratis. The government's commitment to further strengthening this scheme reflects its dedication to improving the well-being of its citizens. Simultaneously, the allocation for GIDC modernization aims to enhance the state's industrial competitiveness and attract further investments. By upgrading infrastructure and fostering a conducive environment for businesses, the government seeks to create new employment opportunities and drive economic growth.
