    Solution

    The statement that "Senior Citizen Health Insurance Scheme (SCHIS) is not covered under the scheme" is incorrect. Ayushman Bharat Scheme, launched in 2018, is indeed a National Health Protection Scheme that provides health insurance coverage of Rs. 5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary medical care. The scheme has two main components: Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs) and Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY). It targets families identified in the Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC), covering over 10 crore families. The Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) has been subsumed under this scheme.
