Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY), which translates to Safe Motherhood Scheme, is a program launched by the Government of India in 2005 to incentivize institutional births among pregnant women, particularly in rural areas. The scheme aims to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates by providing financial assistance to expecting mothers who deliver in accredited healthcare facilities.



Here's a breakdown of the JSY scheme:


  • Eligibility: All pregnant women in India are eligible for JSY benefits, irrespective of their age, number of children or income status.
  • Benefits: The program provides cash assistance to mothers who deliver in government hospitals or accredited private healthcare facilities. The amount varies depending on the location of the delivery:

    • Rural areas: ₹1400 (around $17 USD)
    • Urban areas: ₹1000 (around $12 USD)

  • Implementation: JSY is a centrally sponsored scheme, meaning the central government funds the program entirely. The state governments are responsible for implementing the scheme through their health departments.

The JSY scheme has played a significant role in increasing institutional deliveries in India, contributing to a decline in maternal and neonatal mortality rates.

untochability

  The Stain of Distance: A Well established Separation Distance, a malevolent practice dug in the station framework, has tormented India for quite a long time. It consigns people from explicit standings, basically Dalits (previously known as "untouchables"), to the edges of society, exposing them to a snare of separation, isolation, and social prohibition. Understanding this complicated issue requires diving into its authentic roots, its persevering through presence, and the continuous battle for correspondence. The Tradition of Standing and Pollution The standing framework, a various leveled social design, relegates birth-decided occupations and social positions. Untouchables fall outside this framework, considered "debased" due to their customarily "contaminating" occupations like manual searching, leatherworking, and sterilization. This idea of contamination is profoundly imbued in strict texts and social traditions. Untouchables face limitations on act
