## Statement  referred  to  in  reply  to  part  (a)  to  (d)  of  the  Lok  Sabha  Starred Question No. 99 for answer on 07.02.2020 raised by Shri Chandra Prakash Joshi and Shri Manoj Tiwari regarding Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana

(a) to  (d)  All  Pregnant  Women  and  Lactating  Mothers  (PW&LM)  who  have  their pregnancy on or after 01.01.2017 for first living child of the family, excluding PW&LM who are in regular employment with the Central Government or the State Government or Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) or those who are in receipt of similar benefits under any law for the time being in force are eligible for receiving maternity benefits under the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY).

The  State/UT-wise details of funds spent, including Rajasthan and  Delhi, for disbursement of maternity benefits to eligible beneficiaries under PMMVY is Annexed .

The  scheme  Implementation  Guidelines  provides  for  setting  up  of  Steering  and Monitoring  Committees  at  National,  State  and  District  levels.  These  Committees review  the  progress  of  implementation  of  the  scheme  periodically  to  strengthen  the coordination and convergence between concerned Departments and suggest modifications required for improving the implementation. Further, PMMVY  is implemented through web  based  Management  and  Information System  (MIS) Software, viz. Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana-Common Application Software (PMMVY-CAS) which is used as an effective tool for regular monitoring of the scheme. The  PMMVY-CAS is enabled to  monitor  key  indicators  like  number  of  beneficiaries enrolled,  number  of  beneficiaries  paid  maternity  benefits,  total  maternity  benefits disbursed to eligible beneficiaries etc. on near-real time basis.

The implementation  of  PMMVY  is  reviewed  periodically  through  Video  Conferences with  States/UTs and through National and Regional level workshops. Consequently, the uptake of the scheme has increased and more and more beneficiaries are brought under  the  ambit  of  the  scheme.  PMMVY  is  a  DBT  compliant  scheme  and  as  on 04.02.2020, maternity benefits of ₹ 5300.18 crores have been directly credited to the Bank/Post Office accounts of more than 1.29 crores eligible beneficiaries.
