PMMVY: The central government operates several government schemes for pregnant women, including the PM Matru Vandana Yojana. Through this scheme, the government is helping women during pregnancy so they can take care of themselves and their children. If you are pregnant or know someone who is expecting a baby, you can use this scheme to help them. Under this scheme, the government directly transfers up to ₹11,000 into women’s accounts. If you haven’t yet taken advantage of this, you can apply.
The objective of this scheme is to strengthen the health and nutrition of women by providing financial assistance during pregnancy and childbirth, ensuring the health of both mother and child. Under this scheme, funds are transferred directly to women’s bank accounts through DBT.
