Budget Estimates for 2008-09 - National Portal of India

Emphasis has been made as to Micro Birth Planning by making the anganwari workers/
Helpers/ ANMs/ LHVs issued with a Hindi Booklet Karya Marg Darshika wherein the
referral flow chat / Map has been illustrated according to the area.
Re-appropriation is being done to remove the mismatch if any in JSY beneficiaries and
funds spent. However the money is disbursed in cash to each beneficiary immediately
by the respective institution.
Control of Diarrhoeal Diseases
ORS has been procured and has been made available at all sub-centres/ health
facilities/ anganwaris especially in the urban slum/ colonies/ villages in U.T., Chandigarh
during the year 2007-08 and the same is being ensured to be maintained during the
next year in order to reduce morbidity and mortality.
Breast Feeding
The ANMs are being trained to ensure the post natal care with special emphasis as to
breast-feeding. The motivation for 100% institutional delivery will ensure the increase in
breast feeding rate. The IEC will be further enhanced through print and electronic media
during the year 2008-09.
MTP
The MTP centres are in the hospitals/ CHCs. These are provided with the necessary
equipment/ medicines/ manpower out of the hospital protocol in order to avoid the
duplicacy. However the funds if required for injectables / medicines will be met out the
RCH Flexipool. Since the staff engaged is fully qualified no such training is required to
be budgeted.
Outreach Services
Since Chandigarh is well established with health care facility / delivery. The institutional
deliveries are promoted by way of free services at the facility, availability of JSY money
to the beneficiary, referral transportation and incentive for anganwari worker take ample
care and the target to promote institutional delivery to 100% is in the State Agenda. Last
Friday of every month is fixed for VHNDs and is budgeted.
Referral Transport
The referral transport has been incorporated in the State Strategy. Rs.150/- in cash will
be paid by the AWW to the beneficiary out of the Imprest money made available in
advance irrespective of the mode of transportation
