Eligible BPL families list is made available under the online BPL search page on the www.magujarat.com website. The same list is used by the vendor engaged for enrollment under “MA” Vatsalya Yojana.

For the enrollment of “MA”  Vatsalya beneficiaries, kiosks at each Taluka and Civic Center have been established under the scheme. These kiosks are equipped with all hardware required for the collection of biometric information (fingerprints), photographs of family members, a printer to print MA Vatsalya (MAV) cards, etc. The MAV card along with an information pamphlet mentioning scheme benefits and a list of empanelled hospitals is provided on the spot to the beneficiary family. Before the enrollment of a family, every document of their eligibility is been checked by a designated Government Officer (Taluka Verifying Authority) and after his/her approval the card is been issued.

The entire enrollment process takes a maximum of 15 minutes. The card in a plastic cover along with the booklet is given free of cost to the beneficiary at these enrollment stations. To mobilize the maximum number of left out beneficiaries for enrollment State Government has also deployed Mobile kiosks at every district for the village to village enrollments.

MA Vatsalya Card

MA Vatsalya card is used for the identification of the beneficiary through the captured photograph and fingerprints during the enrollments. It enables cashless transactions at scheme empanelled hospitals across the state without any manual approval from any govt. authority.

The authenticated “MA” card is handed over to the beneficiary at the Kiosk itself. However, in the case of enrolment through the mobile kiosk, the beneficiary has to either go to their respective taluka kiosk or has to wait till another mobile enrollment kiosk is organized in the same village for getting the card.

The card consists of a photograph of the head of the family which not only helps in the head of the family’s identification (in case biometric information fails) but also gives an identity to the whole family.
