New insurance model to offer ₹25L cover per family; ₹2k wage hike to 108 staff and pilots

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @Vijayawada

THE State government has announced plans to transition the NTR Vaidya Seva scheme from a trust-based system to an insurance model, aiming to improve service quality and accessibility. Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu approved the proposal during a review meeting of the health department at his residence in Undavalli on Saturday.

Under the new insurance model, both public and private insurers will be leveraged to provide health coverage of up to ₹25 lakh per family annually, benefiting approximately 4.30 crore residents across the State.

To streamline healthcare delivery, the government is also consolidating the 104 and 108 emergency services under a single operator. The 108 service, which currently operates a fleet of 190 ambulances—many of which have exceeded their operational lifespan—will see its vehicles replaced at an estimated cost of ₹60 crore. These changes aim to ensure timely and effective emergency medical response.

WHEN A CLEAN-UP BECOMES A MESS

A year ago, the idea of a massive nationwide exercise to visit every single household to verify, add, or delete voters was not on anyone’s radar. After all, the Narendra Modi government did not even conduct the mandatory dec-adal census. Chief Election Commi sioner Gyanesh Kumar took charge in February 2025 and, for three months, did not utter the term ‘special intensive revision’ (SIR). Suddenly, one day in June, the CEC announced a nationwide SIR beginning with Bihar. Why so suddenly and so hastily?
