If the localbody/voluntary organization fails to achieve this target but achieves a level of 45tubectomies per bed per annum, the maintenance grant @ Rs. 3000 per bed per annum isadmissible. If the performance of an institution is below the target level of 45tubectomies per bed per annum, proportionate grant at the norm of 45 tubectomies perbed per annum or at the of Rs. 3000 per bed per annum is admissible.Since the Sterilization Beds Scheme (SBC) is in operation for a long time and it isdesirable to examine the performance of this scheme.
