Highlights
The state of Punjab is a high performing state in India, as per the performance index devised by National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), an umbrella programme that encompasses wide range of initiatives including Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY)
A sample of 116 Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) beneficiaries has been selected from each district based on probability proportionate to size sampling
Results have been discussed for the number of JSY beneficiaries who received cash incentives, amount of cash incentive received by them and the difficulties faced in receiving the cash incentives
Summary
There is a case of a beneficiary who did not receive the cash incentive for her first birth for delivery at home, did not receive it for later births with delivery secured at institution and she did not think it worthwhile to go to health centre to enquire about the incentives for the later 2 childbirths. We did not go to the health centre for asking for money as it is their obligation.” Another beneficiary revealed an alluring case of no incentives after she opted for delivery at CHC and did not receive the cash assistance.
