The study is based on 6 month hospital data, 3 months data before Ayushman Bharat and 3 months data after Ayushman Bharat. Study was made over 100 patients of economical weaker category admitted in Orthopedics department. They were divided into two groups ie study over 50 patients before scheme and 50 patients after scheme. Of the 50 patients, before implementation of scheme only 15 got operated and 35 remained non operated because of economical deficit. On the other hand after implementation of Ayushman Bharat Yojana out of 50 patients, 42 got operated and 8 remained non operated because of poor compliance.
