## ANSWER

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

- (a)         Under  Pradhan  Mantri  Matru  Vandana  Yojana  (PMMVY),  more  than  3.59 crores beneficiaries have been enrolled since inception of the Scheme in 2017-18 and till 02.12.2023.  Further, maternity benefits of more than ₹14,428.35 crores (includes both  Central  and  State  share)  have  been  disbursed  to  more  than  3.21  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. However, 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  for  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  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, viz., ANC data missing; non completion of vaccination etc.
- (d)        The  Ministry  celebrates  'Matru  Vandana  Saptah'  every  year  to  intensify implementation of the scheme and create a healthy competition amongst States/UTs. States/UTs  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. The Ministry conducts outreach activities with various stakeholders at regular intervals for increasing awareness about the scheme.
