The Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) is a centrally sponsored Scheme which
is being implemented with the objective of reducing maternal and infant
mortality by promoting institutional delivery among pregnant women. Under the
JSY, eligible pregnant women are entitled for cash assistance irrespective of
the age of mother and number of children for giving birth in a government or
accredited private health facility. The scheme focuses on poor pregnant
woman with a special dispensation for states that have low institutional
delivery rates, namely, the states of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar,
Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Assam, Rajasthan, Odisha, and Jammu
and Kashmir. While these States have been named Low Performing States
(LPS) under the scheme, the remaining States/UTs have been named High
Performing States (HPS). The scheme also provides performance based
incentives to women health volunteers known as ASHA (Accredited Social Health
Activist) for promoting institutional delivery among pregnant women. Cash
entitlement for different categories of mothers is as follows:

Direct Benefit Transfer under JSY
Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode of payment has been rolled out in 43
districts with effect from 1.1.2013 and in 78 districts from 1.7.2013.
Recently, instructions have been issued to all States/UTs regarding extension
of DBT mode of payment throughout the country in all districts. Under this
initiative, eligible pregnant women are entitled to get JSY benefit directly
into their bank accounts.

(SRS Estimates)
Data pertaining to current year is
not available.
The fact that the number
of beneficiaries under Janani Surakshsa Yojana has increased manifold i.e. from
7.38 lakh beneficiaries in 2005-06 to 104.38 lakhs in 2014-15, itself is an
indicator of high awareness levels among the pregnant women about the
scheme. Also the fact that about 9 lakh ASHA workers get performance
based incentives under JSY for motivating pregnant women to give birth in a
health facility is an indication of high awareness about the scheme.
Further, out of the total JSY beneficiaries reported in 2014-15, a large
majority of (nearly 87%) beneficiaries belong to rural areas. To say that a
large segment of pregnant women in the rural areas of the country are not aware
of the scheme and are deprived of the benefits under the scheme may not hold
true. No irregularities have been reported under this scheme during the said
period.
The
Health Minister, Shri J P Nadda stated this in a written reply in the Lok Sabha
here today.
