Measuring the Efficiency of Rashtriya Swasthaya Bima Yojana using Data Envelopment Analysis Approach

The study evaluates the performance of the scheme—Rashtriya Swasthaya Bima Yojana—in different districts of Uttar Pradesh using Data Envelopment Analysis. Additionally, the slack-based forecasting was used to find out how much excess of amount of inputs they are consuming and how much they are lagging behind to use outputs. The study will be helpful for the policymakers (in this case Ministry of Labour and Employment and GIZ) to further improve the scheme. The study and the findings if adopted may help in improving the scheme and which will definitely help the masses, mainly Below Poverty Line (BPL) people for whom the scheme was framed.
