Mumbai, Aug 2025 : The Chief Minister’s Relief Fund (CMRF) Cell has emerged as a reliable support system for economically weaker and underprivileged patients across Maharashtra. Demonstrating remarkable efficiency, the Nashik Division has provided substantial medical assistance amounting to ₹32.32 crore to 3,542 patients over the past seven months.
