Ashwini Kumar Choubey takes charge as MoS Health
New Delhi: Mr Ashwini Kumar Choubey recently took charge as Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare. Choubey has been reassigned the health portfolio in the Modi government's second term.
He took the metro from his residence to reach Udyog Bhawan station from where he walked down to his office--Nirman Bhawan.
Before taking charge, the minister performed an elaborate puja and planted five trees in the Nirman Bhavan campus.
Choubey was accompanied by a group of priests who chanted prayers and mantras before he formally took charge.
Thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said he will carry on with his efforts to implement the mandates of Ayushman Bharat so that more people are able to avail the benefits of the scheme.
Choubey said 'sarve santu niramaya' (health for all) is the policy mandate of the government and he will make all efforts towards realising it.
