    Solution

    The 'Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana' (PM-JAY), also known as Ayushman Bharat, is a scheme by the Indian government that aims to provide free access to healthcare for the underprivileged sections of the society. This scheme is associated with the Directive Principles of State Policy, particularly Article 47, which stipulates the duty of the State to raise the level of nutrition and the standard of living and to improve public health. The Directive Principles are guidelines for the creation of a just society in India, and the PM-JAY scheme is in alignment with these principles, aiming to ensure that citizens have access to adequate healthcare services.
