PM-JAY hospital admissions per lakh people, 2024-25
Meghalaya had 6,785 PM-JAY admissions authorised per lakh people in 2024-25, Chhattisgarh 5,689 and Karnataka 5,574, against 732 in Bihar, 1,043 in Uttar Pradesh and 1,021 in Maharashtra. Kerala fell from 3,397 in 2022-23 to 2,530 and Tamil Nadu from 2,288 to 1,468, while Karnataka rose by 2,474.
Policy implication The base here is the whole population, not the families covered, so a state that covers more of its people shows a higher figure for that reason alone. Delhi and Odisha joined the scheme in April 2025 and West Bengal is not in it, so they have no figure. Some states run their own schemes beside PM-JAY, which these counts leave out.
