Which one of the following is the main objective of Janani Suraksha Yojana?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B

Explanation

Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY), launched in April 2005 under the National Health Mission (NHM), is a 100% centrally sponsored scheme. Its primary objective is to reduce maternal mortality ratio (MMR) and neonatal mortality rate (NMR) by promoting institutional delivery among poor pregnant women.

  • The scheme provides a cash incentive to eligible pregnant women (primarily BPL, SC, and ST categories) who opt for delivery in government or accredited private health facilities.
  • It integrates cash assistance with delivery and post-delivery care, utilizing ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) workers as links between the health system and the community.
  • By encouraging births in medical facilities, the scheme ensures access to skilled birth attendants, thereby preventing complications that lead to maternal and neonatal deaths.

Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they focus on only one aspect, whereas JSY targets both maternal and neonatal health.
