## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

- (a)         The  Pradhan  Mantri  Matru  Vandana  Yojana  (PMMVY)  scheme  of  Ministry  of Women and Child Development is being implemented with an aim to provide cash incentive for partial compensation for the wage loss  and to improve health seeking behavior amongst the Pregnant Women & Lactating Mothers (PW&LM). Some additional amount under Janani Suraksha  Yojana  of  Ministry  of  Health  and  Family  Welfare  is  also  given  for  promoting institutional delivery.

Pradhan  Mantri  Surakshit  Matritva  Abhiyan  (PMSMA)  of  Ministry  of  Health  and Family Welfare has been launched with an aim to provide fixed-day, free of cost, assured, comprehensive and quality  antenatal  care  on  the  9 th day  of  every  month  universally  to  all pregnant  women  in  their  2nd  /  3rd  trimesters  of  pregnancy.  The  pregnant  women  are counseled on birth preparedness and institutional delivery.

- (b)         As  per  the  report  of  National  Family  Health  Survey  (NFHS),  the  percentage  of institutional  births  has  increased  from  78.9  %  in  NFHS-4  (2015-16)  to  88.6%  in  NFHS-5 (2019-21).
- (c)  &  (d)           Yes  Sir,  As  per  Sample  Registration  System  (SRS)  Report  of  Registrar General of India (RGI):
-  Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) has reduced from 32 per 1000 Live Births in 2018 to 28 per 1000 live births in 2020.
-  Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) of India has reduced from 103 per 100,000 live births in SRS 2017-19 to 97 per 100,000 live births in SRS 2018-20.

Infant  Mortality  Rate  (IMR)  in  India  and  States  for  the  period  of  2018  to  2020  is placed at Annexure I and State-wise details of MMR are placed at Annexure-II.
