Under the approved proposal, eligible beneficiaries will be able to avail cashless treatment up to ₹5 lakh, offering significant relief from rising medical expenses. The move is being seen as a crucial step towards strengthening social security for those associated with the education sector.
Cabinet Clears 29 Proposals
The decision was part of a broader cabinet agenda in which 29 proposals were approved, reflecting the government’s focus on welfare, governance, and administrative reforms. Among these, the healthcare coverage for teachers has emerged as one of the most impactful measures.
Boost to Education Workforce Welfare
Teachers and Education Mitras play a vital role in shaping the future of the state, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. By ensuring access to quality healthcare without financial burden, the government aims to improve morale, job security, and overall well-being of educators.
Part of CM Yogi Adityanath Government’s Social Welfare Push
The initiative aligns with the Yogi Adityanath government’s broader emphasis on welfare-oriented governance, especially for public servants and frontline workers. Similar health coverage schemes have already been implemented for other sections, and the inclusion of teachers further strengthens this framework.
Positive Response Expected
The announcement is expected to receive a positive response from the teaching community, which has long demanded comprehensive health protection. With implementation mechanisms likely to be put in place soon, the scheme marks a significant step towards inclusive and people-centric policy making in Uttar Pradesh.
