The Indira Gandhi Matritva Sahyog Yojana (IGMSY) is a maternity benefit program run by the government of India. It was introduced in 2010 and is implemented by the Ministry of Women and Child Development. It is a conditional cash transfer scheme for pregnant and lactating women of 19 years of age or above for first two live births. It provides a partial wage compensation to women for wage-loss during childbirth and childcare and to provide conditions for safe delivery and good nutrition and feeding practices. In 2013, the scheme was brought under National Food Security Act, 2013 to implement the provision of cash maternity benefit of Rs. 6000 stated in the Act.〔http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/pucl-plea-in-sc-questions-delay-in-implementation/article7265775.ece〕 Presently, the scheme is implemented on a pilot basis in 53 selected districts and proposals are under consideration to scale it up to 200 additional 'high burden districts' in 2015-16.〔http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/indias-unrealised-maternity-entitlement/article7040790.ece〕 ==About the Program== Objectives:〔http://wcd.nic.in/SchemeIgmsy/IGMSYImpGuidelinesApr11.pdf〕 * Promoting appropriate practice, care and institutional service utilization during pregnancy, delivery and lactation * Encouraging the women to follow (optimal) nutrition and feeding practices, including early and exclusive breast-feeding for the first six months; and * Providing cash incentives for improved health and nutrition to pregnant and lactating mothers.
