      The premium rates for urban cooperative societies are comparatively high as People in urban areas visit hospitals more often than those in rural areas.

      The government is in fact going to launch another scheme by the name of Priyadarshini, it will offer financial assistance for setting up new women’s co-operative societies in the State. The government will contribute the share amount for one to become a member, besides providing mandatory financial assistance to operate the societies.
