Uttar Pradesh launched the Mukhyamantri Shikshak Cashless Chikitsa Yojana to provide comprehensive healthcare coverage for teachers, education department employees, and their dependent family members. The scheme offers cashless medical treatment of up to ₹5 lakh annually through empanelled government and private hospitals. Around 3.5 lakh beneficiaries were identified for the initial rollout. The initiative is being implemented by the State Agency for Comprehensive Health and Integrated Services (SACHIS), which serves as the nodal agency for health insurance and cashless treatment programs in the state. A dedicated digital portal has also been developed to streamline beneficiary registration, card generation, and hospital integration for efficient service delivery.
