The government is running a door-to-door awareness and enrollment campaign through Anganwadi and Asha workers, so that pregnant and lactating women can be reached. Under this scheme, Rs 5000 is provided by the government when women become pregnant for the first time. On the other hand, if a woman gives birth to a daughter for the second time, then Rs 6000 is given. This money is used for a nutritious diet for the mother and child.
