The image displays the official logo of the Ayushman Bharat Yojana.
The text on the logo explicitly reads "Ayushman Bharat" in Hindi and "PM-JAY" (Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana) in English.
This scheme provides a health cover of up to ₹5 lakhs per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization.
It is a flagship program aimed at providing universal health coverage to poor and vulnerable populations.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
Option A: The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) focuses on the holistic development of children under 6 years and their mothers, providing nutrition, immunization, and preschool education. Its logo is different and does not feature the text 'Ayushman Bharat'.
Option B: The Navjat Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (NSSK) is a program focused on training healthcare providers in essential newborn care and resuscitation. The logo in the image is not associated with this training program.
Option C: The Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (JSSK) aims to eliminate out-of-pocket expenses for pregnant women and sick newborns by providing free delivery, drugs, and transport. Its logo is distinct from the one shown.

Clinical Relevance
Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Identification of logos of national health programs in India as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
Nurses are at the forefront of implementing Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) in hospitals. They are responsible for verifying beneficiary eligibility, facilitating the pre-authorization process for treatment, and ensuring patients receive all entitled benefits.
Understanding the scheme helps nurses to advocate for their patients, ensuring that financial constraints do not become a barrier to receiving necessary secondary and tertiary care.
What if? If a patient presents with an emergency condition but does not have their PM-JAY e-card, the nurse's role would be to immediately initiate emergency care while simultaneously coordinating with the hospital's 'Ayushman Mitra' or help desk to verify the patient's eligibility through other means (like Aadhaar number or mobile number) to ensure cashless treatment can be provided.
How to Approach the Question
First, carefully examine the image provided. Look for any text, symbols, or specific design elements.
In this case, the text "Ayushman Bharat" and "PM-JAY" are clearly visible on the logo.
Next, read through the given options and compare them with the information identified from the image.
The text on the logo directly matches the name in option D, 'Ayushman Bharat Yojana'.
Select the matching option as the correct answer.
