Q. Which state launched the 'Mittayi' scheme to offer free insulin therapy to Diabetes patients?
Answer:
Kerala
Notes: The Kerala State government, through the Kerala Social Security Mission, initiated the 'Mittayi' scheme in 2018. This program aimed to offer free insulin therapy and continuous glucose monitoring devices to individuals suffering from Type 1 diabetes.
Approximately 1,200 children under the age of 18 in Kerala do not qualify for the State government's 'Mittayi' scheme designed to assist individuals with Type 1 diabetes. This exclusion is due to their parents' annual income exceeding ₹2 lakh.
