It is in these states, more private and government hospitals are to be opened fast. Also cleanliness and malnutrition have to be tackled first. We have surplus food and cleanliness can be brought by simple means. Centre should allot money for this purpose to state governments to tackle this. All rich Biharees should come together and make special efforts to end malnutrition and improve cleanliness in Bihar and same goes for other poorest states.
Finally, it seems that the poorest states are laggards in tackling all these problems despite money being allocated for solving these problems due to corruption and the poor administration including the government ministers , officers and other junior staff. Even CM has too much ego and he kkeps jumping ships but has failed to tackle basic problems. Sames is true for other poor states.

It’s the failure of Nehruvian Model of Socialism that inspite of North India centric politics ruling India most of the times, that people are deprived of these facilities….. Privatization of Health and Education by the successive Khongress Govts over the years has made the vulnerable class at the mercy of God….. Any scheme implemented by Central Govt can be successful only with the help of implementing agency at the lowest level of bureaucracy…. Inefficient bureaucracy with the load of reservations at middle and lower level bound to fail any scheme howsoever with the good intentions of the Govt….. Another aspect of devaluation of moral values is depressing of middle level staff due to lower pay scales of implementing agencies (Field organisations as per Govt characteristics) in comparison to Policy Making agencies (Secretariat Services as per Govt characteristics) inspite of recommendations of last two successive Pay Commission reports to grant equal pay scales (at par) to these cadres ….. But the officers and staff sitting in Secretariat Services who themselves have to implement the pay commission recommendations never agreed to the proposal of Pay Commissions…..
Bihar, with 100 million people, has a per capita income of $ 560, it would be the world’s third poorest country. UP, 200 million people, $ 890. Fifth poorest.

Socialism always fails, government hospitals and ayushman Bharat are no exception. The only area where Socialism triumphs is in corruption.
