(a) to (d) All Pregnant Women and Lactating Mothers (PW&LM) who have their pregnancy on or after 01.01.2017 for first living child of the family, excluding PW&LM who are in regular employment with the Central Government or the State Government or Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) or those who are in receipt of similar benefits under any law for the time being in force are eligible for receiving maternity benefits under the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY).
The State/UT-wise details of funds spent, including Rajasthan and Delhi, for disbursement of maternity benefits to eligible beneficiaries under PMMVY is Annexed.
The scheme Implementation Guidelines provides for setting up of Steering and Monitoring Committees at National, State and District levels. These Committees review the progress of implementation of the scheme periodically to strengthen the coordination and convergence between concerned Departments and suggest modifications required for improving the implementation. Further, PMMVY is implemented through web based Management and Information System (MIS) Software, viz. Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana-Common Application Software (PMMVY-CAS) which is used as an effective tool for regular monitoring of the scheme. The PMMVY-CAS is enabled to monitor key indicators like number of beneficiaries enrolled, number of beneficiaries paid maternity benefits, total maternity benefits disbursed to eligible beneficiaries etc. on near-real time basis.
The implementation of PMMVY is reviewed periodically through Video Conferences with States/UTs and through National and Regional level workshops. Consequently, the uptake of the scheme has increased and more and more beneficiaries are brought under the ambit of the scheme. PMMVY is a DBT compliant scheme and as on 04.02.2020, maternity benefits of ? 5300.18 crores have been directly credited to the Bank/Post Office accounts of more than 1.29 crores eligible beneficiaries.
