Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana
Government announced Pan India implementation of maternity benefit
programme to eligible pregnant women and lactating mothers. The programme
was named as Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY).
PMMVY is a centrally sponsored scheme under which the grant-in-aid is
being released to states/UTs in cost sharing ratio between the centre and the
states and UTs with legislature as 60:40, for north-eastern states and Himalayan
states it will be 90:10 and 100 per cent for union territories without legislature.
The scheme envisages providing cash incentive amounting to ` 5,000/-
directly to the bank/post office account of PW and LM in DBT mode during
pregnancy and lactation in response to individual fulfilling specific conditions.
One Stop Centres
Women who suffer violence face huge problems in getting justice as they have
to register FIRs and engage lawyers to fight court cases. In many cases the
medical evidence gets destroyed due to lack of knowledge or pressure from
perpetrators. As a result, very often women suffer violence but do not complain.
In order to assist such women, a new initiative to establish One Stop Centres
country (OSC) was conceived and is being implemented across the country
since April 2015. A woman who has suffered violence can get medical, police,
legal and psychological counselling assistance at these centres. These also have
a place for them to temporarily stay in case their condition so warrants. The
OSC, popularly known by the name of Sakhi will be integrated with 181 and
other existing helplines. The first Centre was inaugurated at Raipur, Chhattisgarh
on 16th July, 2015. So far 138 such centres have been operational in 31 states/
UTs., catering to the needs of the women affected by violence. Over 4000 women
have been assisted in these centres, which have come up in the last six months
or so. At least one such centre will be established in each district by the end of
2018-19. The scheme is implemented through the state/UT government. The
