Q. What is the primary objective of the 'eSwasthya Dham portal', recently seen in news?
Answer:
To monitor the health parameters of Char Dham Yatra pilgrims
Notes: The eSwasthya Dham portal, integrated with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), monitors the health parameters of pilgrims undertaking the Char Dham Yatra, which includes Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. This initiative ensures a smooth pilgrimage experience, allowing pilgrims to create a 14-digit Ayushman Bharat Health Account number. Each site holds religious significance: Yamunotri is dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, Gangotri to Goddess Ganga, Kedarnath to Lord Shiva, and Badrinath to Lord Vishnu.
