Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet on Tuesday approved cashless medical treatment of up to Rs 5 lakh for 1,70,366 non-teaching employees associated with secondary and basic education institutions, with the state government set to spend around Rs 51.11 crore annually on their insurance premiums.
Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna said the decision would extend medical benefits to non-teaching staff and their dependent family members, following an earlier announcement by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to provide similar facilities to teachers.
