KISHTWAR: The district administration Kishtwar under the leadership of Deputy Commissioner Pankaj Kumar Sharma successfully disbursed the treatment funds received through MoRTH to the eligible beneficiaries through PFMS, thereby effectively implementing the Prime Minister's Road Accident Victims' Hospitalisation and Assured Treatment (PM-RAHAT) Scheme.
The district administration has ensured the effective rollout of the PM-RAHAT Scheme, which provides cashless treatment to eligible road accident victims during the critical golden-hour period, thereby enhancing the chances of survival through timely medical intervention.
As part of the implementation, the Office of the Deputy Commissioner Kishtwar has facilitated the disbursement of ā¹4,200 (Rupees Four Thousand Two Hundred only) to the concerned empanelled hospital for the treatment of an eligible beneficiary under the scheme, marking a landmark in the operationalisation of the initiative in the district of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
Since the launch of the scheme in the district, 36 cases have been registered on the PM-RAHAT portal, of which 23 cases have been approved after police verification, while 13 cases were rejected due to ineligibility. Notably, there are currently no pending or pre-approved cases, reflecting prompt verification and efficient inter-departmental coordination.
It is pertinent to mention here that the Motor Vehicle Department Kishtwar under the directions of the Deputy Commissioner conducted various awareness programs at multiple locations across the district regarding the PM-RAHAT Scheme.
The successful implementation of the scheme has been made possible through the coordinated efforts of the district administration, Police, Transport Department and other stakeholders, ensuring seamless processing of cases and timely financial assistance to healthcare institutions.
