Which among the following is the National Maternity Benefit Scheme under the umbrella of National Rural Health Mission?
Appeared in: AIIMS Raipur lecturer 2021
Explanation
- Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) is a safe motherhood intervention under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM).
- It was launched in April 2005 by modifying and replacing the National Maternity Benefit Scheme (NMBS).
- The primary goal of JSY is to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality by promoting institutional delivery among poor pregnant women.
- The scheme provides cash assistance to eligible women for delivering in a government or accredited private health facility.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option A: This scheme, launched in 2015, focuses on addressing the declining child sex ratio and empowering the girl child through education. It is not a maternity benefit scheme.
- Option B: The Child Survival and Safe Motherhood Programme (CSSM) was launched in 1992. It was an earlier initiative that was later integrated into the Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) Programme and predates the NRHM (launched 2005).
- Option D: This is a widespread school feeding program designed to improve the nutritional status of school-age children and increase school enrollment and attendance. It is unrelated to maternity benefits.

Clinical Relevance
- Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain National health programs for maternal and child health in India as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
- Community health nurses are pivotal in the success of JSY. They identify eligible pregnant women, ensure they are registered, facilitate antenatal check-ups, and counsel them on the benefits of institutional delivery.
- Nurses working in Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and Community Health Centres (CHCs) are directly involved in providing care to JSY beneficiaries during delivery and the postnatal period.
- What if? If a JSY-registered woman insists on a home delivery, the nurse's role shifts to counseling about the risks, ensuring a trained birth attendant is present if possible, and arranging for immediate transport in case of complications. The woman may still be eligible for a smaller cash assistance for home delivery in some cases.
How to Approach the Question
- First, identify the key phrases in the question: 'National Maternity Benefit Scheme' and 'National Rural Health Mission (NRHM)'.
- The question asks which of the options is essentially the NMBS under the umbrella of NRHM.
- Evaluate each option based on its primary objective and its relation to NRHM.
- Recall or deduce that 'Janani Suraksha Yojana' (JSY) is directly related to safe motherhood ('Janani' means mother) and was a flagship program under NRHM.
- Confirm that JSY specifically replaced the older NMBS, making it the correct fit for the question's description.
- Eliminate the other options by identifying their distinct goals: girl child empowerment (Beti Bachao), an older pre-NRHM program (CSSM), and school nutrition (Midday Meal).
