(c) The PMMVY is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme being implemented through State Governments/Union Territory Administrations. In order to ensure proper implementation of PMMVY in States/UTs, the Ministry of Women and Child Development handholds all States/UTs  on  issues  related  to  Pradhan  Mantri  Matru  Vandana  Yojana-Common Application  Software  (PMMVY-CAS);  facilitate  scheme  implementation  by  supporting, planning and monitoring activities  associated  with  the  technology  solution;  developing Information Education and Communication (IEC) plan, training modules, capacity building of  Accredited  Social  Health  Activist  (ASHA),  Auxiliary  Nurse  and  Midwife  (ANM)  and Anganwadi Workers (AWWs).

(d) & (e) The PMMVY is being implemented in the State of West Bengal since 201718.  However,  it  had  come  to  the  notice  of  this  Ministry  that  the  Scheme  is  being implemented in the State with a different nomenclature i.e. 'Bangla Matri Prakalpa'. The State government later on agreed that scheme was being run as ' Bangla Matri Prakalpa' and assured that in future the scheme would be implemented strictly as per the guidelines of PMMVY. On receipt of the written assurance from the State, the release of Central share of funds to the State Government of West Bengal has been resumed from March, 2022.
