UPSC 2023: Consider the following statements in relation to Janani Suraksha Yojana : 1. It is a safe motherhood intervention of the State Health Departments. 2. Its objective is to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality among poor pregnant women. 3. It aims to promote institutional delivery among poor pregnant women. 4. Its objective includes providing public health facilities to sick infants up to one year of age. How many of the statements given above are correct?
(a)Only one
(b)Only two
(c)Only three
(d)All four
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Only two
JSY is a centrally sponsored safe-motherhood cash-transfer scheme under the National Health Mission, not a State-level maternity-benefit scheme, so Statement 1 is incorrect. It aims to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality (Stmt 2) by promoting institutional deliveries among poor pregnant women (Stmt 3). Providing free care to sick infants up to one year is covered under Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram, not JSY, so Statement 4 is wrong. Hence exactly two statements (2 and 3) are correct.
