This scheme, earlier known as Mukhyamantri Chiranjeevi Jeevan Raksha Yojana, was started to encourage people to help accident victims reach a hospital on time.

Rajasthan Mukhyamantri Ayushman Jeevan Raksha Yojana
The state government increased the good samaritan reward from Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 as part of the budget, and the finance department approved it on 21 August 2024. The aim is to cut the death rate in road accidents by making sure injured people get treatment within the golden hour, which is the first 60 minutes after a serious injury.
A good samaritan who takes a seriously injured person to the nearest government or private hospital or trauma centre within one hour of the accident gets Rs 10,000 and a certificate of appreciation. If the injured person has only minor injuries, the helper gets a certificate of appreciation from the state administration. As per reports, over 340 people have been recognised under the scheme so far.
Objective of Mukhyamantri Ayushman Jeevan Raksha Yojana
The main aim of Mukhyamantri Ayushman Jeevan Raksha Yojana is to motivate people so that those injured in road accidents can reach a nearby hospital in the golden hour and get treatment on time. As per WHO reports, a large share of road accident deaths can be avoided if treatment is given quickly.
Cash Reward of Rs 10,000 to Good Samaritans
When a good samaritan brings an injured person to the hospital, the casualty medical officer in the emergency room notes down the helper's details like name, age, address, mobile number, identity card and bank details in a form. The concerned police station officer or sub-division magistrate recommends the benefit to the director of public health, medical and health services within three days of the accident.
The cash reward is given in serious cases where the injured person needed to be admitted or referred for treatment. If more than one good samaritan helps in a single case, the reward is divided equally among them and all of them get appreciation letters.
Who is Excluded from the Scheme
Some people are not covered under the scheme. These include:
- Employees of 108 and 1033 ambulance services
