## ANSWER

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

- (a)         Under  Pradhan  Mantri  Matru  Vandana  Yojana  (PMMVY),  more  than  3.78 crores beneficiaries have been enrolled since inception of the Scheme in 2017-18 and till 29.01.2024.  Further, maternity benefits of more than ₹14,758.87 crores have been disbursed to more than 3.29 crores beneficiaries during the aforesaid period.

Under PMMVY, funds are released on the basis of indicative target and utilization of previous year grants. Thus, no State-wise or district-wise allocations are made under PMMVY. The details of Central share of funds released to the State Government of Andhra  Pradesh  under  PMMVY  and  utilization  reported  by  the  State  Government during the last four years are as under:

| 2019-20 (Rs. In Crores)   | 2019-20 (Rs. In Crores)   | 2020-21 (Rs. In Crores)   | 2020-21 (Rs. In Crores)   | 2021-22 (Rs. In Crores)   | 2021-22 (Rs. In Crores)   | 2022-23 (Rs. In Crores)   | 2022-23 (Rs. In Crores)   |

| 101.25                    | 168.81                    | 14.39                     | 78.48                     | 20.22                     | 8.97                      | 71.89                     | 174.34                    |

* This includes both Central and State share.

(b)        The State/UT-wise (including the State of Andhra Pradesh) details of number of  beneficiaries  enrolled  under  PMMVY  belonging  to  Scheduled  Castes  and Scheduled  Tribes  during  the  last  four  years  is Annexed .  The  Ministry  does  not maintain data of beneficiaries belonging to Other Backward Classes.

- (c)         In  order  to  receive  all  instalments  of  maternity  benefits  under  PMMVY  a beneficiary needs to apply and fulfil the conditionality attached with the instalment such as possession of Aadhaar, Ante-Natal Checkup (ANC), registration of child birth, first cycle  of  vaccination  etc.  Around  33,000  beneficiaries  have  received  only  first instalment in Andhra Pradesh during the last four years. The reasons for not receiving maternity benefits beyond  first instalment inter-alia includes non-fulfilment of conditionality attached with the instalment, ANC, rejected, withdraw of application etc.
- (d)                  The  Ministry  of  Women  and  Child  Development  (MWCD) is actively involved to support the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra (VBSY) throughout the country. MWCD is participating under the 'Meri Kahani Meri Zubani (MKMZ)' initiative under which the beneficiaries from each Gram Panchayats speak of their experiences and the impact that selected schemes of Government had on their lives. As per the VBSY dashboard, so far under MKMZ, 4.53 lakh beneficiaries from MWCD have narrated their  experiences , including  2.42  lakh  PMMVY  beneficiaries,  presenting  their perspective about how these schemes have strengthened Nari Shakti.

'On-spot registrations' of eligible beneficiaries is also undertaken during the Yatra for saturation of scheme under MWCD. So far 2.17 lakh on-spot registrations have been reported under various schemes of MWCD including PMMVY.

Also, to oversee the support MWCD has been extending to VBSY across India and to make MWCD's contribution more meaningful, field visits of Ministry's senior officers and the Media team has also been initiated.

Apart  from  this,  States/UTs  also  undertake  various  IEC  and  Behavior  Change Communication (BCC) activities such as Prabhat Pheri, Nukkad Natak, Newspaper Advertisements,  Airing  Radio  Jingles,  Selfie  Campaign,  Door  to  Door  Campaign, Community Programmes at field functionary level etc. Further, the Ministry is also running special campaign for registration of eligible beneficiaries in all States and UTs under PMMVY on a periodic basis.
