To prevent gender biased sex selective elimination ii. To ensure survival and protection of the girl child iii. To ensure education and participation of the girl child The Census (2011) data showed a significant declining trend in the Child Sex Ratio (CSR) between 0-6 years with an all time low of 918. The issue of decline in the CSR is a major indicator of women disempowerment as it reflects both, pre-birth discrimination manifested through gender biased sex selection, and post birth discrimination against girls (in form of their health, nutrition, educational needs). The principal factor behind the Child Sex Ratio being so adverse is the low Sex Ratio at Birth (SRB). Social construct discriminating girls on the one hand, easy availability, affordability and subsequent misuse of diagnostic tools on the other hand, have been critical in declining CSR. The strong socio-cultural and religious biases, preference for sons and discrimination towards daughters has accentuated the problem. | 1. Advocacy and Media Campaign on Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao Under the Scheme, a Nation-wide campaign was launched for celebrating Girl Child and enabling her education. The campaign aims at ensuring that girls are born, nurtured and educated without discrimination to become empowered citizens of this country with equal rights.

This yojana is making strong efforts in saving girl child, and encouraging their parents to educate them. It is focused on promoting gender equality, girl child protection and providing girls with medical aid. 2. Under Beti Bachao Beti Padhao yojana, a savings scheme called the Sukanya Samriddhi account has been introduced. This account is exclusive for a girl child, where parents or guardians of the child can save money for their daughters, which can be used for the girl child’s education or marriage. There will be no tax deduction from this account. 3. This will solve the issue of girl child being considered as a financial burden. 4. The scheme provides good rate of interest. Withdrawal from this account is permitted only to the girl child, after she attains the age of 18. 5.

Objectives of the program: 1. Ensure at least one antenatal checkup for all pregnant women in their second or third trimester by a physician/specialist 2. Improve the quality of care during ante-natal visits. This includes ensuring provision of the following services: > All applicable diagnostic services > Screening for the applicable clinical conditions > Appropriate management of any existing clinical condition such as Anaemia, Pregnancy induced hypertension, Gestational Diabetes etc. > Appropriate counselling services and proper documentation of services rendered > Additional service opportunity to pregnant women who have missed ante-natal visits 3. Identification and line-listing of high risk pregnancies based on obstetric/ medical history and existing clinical conditions. 4. Appropriate birth planning and complication readiness for each pregnant woman especially those identified with any risk factor or comorbid condition. 5. Special emphasis on early diagnosis, adequate and appropriate management of women with malnutrition. 6. Special focus on adolescent and early pregnancies as these pregnancies need extra and specialized care | The Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan has been launched by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India. The program aims to provide assured, comprehensive and quality antenatal care, free of cost, universally to all pregnant women on the 9th of every month. PMSMA guarantees a minimum package of antenatal care services to women in their 2nd / 3rd trimesters of pregnancy at designated government health facilities The programme follows a systematic approach for engagement with private sector which includes motivating private practitioners to volunteer for the campaign developing strategies for generating awareness and appealing to the private sector to participate in the Abhiyan at government health facilities. Rationale for the program: | 1. PMSMA is based on the premise — that if every pregnant woman in India is examined by a physician and appropriately investigated at least once during the PMSMA and then appropriately followed up — the process can result in reduction in the number of maternal and neonatal deaths in our country. 2. Antenatal checkup services would be provided by OBGY specialists / Radiologist/physicians with support from private sector doctors to supplement the efforts of the government sector. 3. A minimum package of antenatal care services (including investigations and drugs) would be provided to the beneficiaries on the 9th day of every month at identified public health facilities (PHCs/ CHCs, DHs/ urban health facilities etc) in both urban and rural areas in addition to the routine ANC at the health facility/ outreach. 4. Using the principles of a single window system, it is envisaged that a minimum package of investigations (including one ultrasound during the 2nd trimester of pregnancy) and medicines such as IFA supplements, calcium supplements etc would be provided to all pregnant women attending the PMSMA clinics. 5. While the target would reach out to all pregnant women, special efforts would be made to reach out to women who have not registered for ANC (left out/missed ANC) and also those who have registered but not availed ANC services (dropout) as well as High Risk pregnant women. 6. OBGY specialists/ Radiologist/physicians from private sector would be encouraged to provide voluntary services at public health facilities where government sector practitioners are not available or inadequate. 7. Pregnant women would be given Mother and Child Protection Cards and safe motherhood booklets. 8. One of the critical components of the Abhiyan is identification and follow up of high risk pregnancies. A sticker indicating the condition and risk factor of the pregnant women would be added onto MCP card for each visit: > Green Sticker- for women with no risk factor detected > Red Sticker – for women with high risk pregnancy 9. A National Portal for PMSMA and a Mobile application have been developed to facilitate the engagement of private/ voluntary sector. 10. ‘IPledgeFor9’ Achievers Awards have been devised to celebrate individual and team achievements and acknowledge voluntary contributions for PMSMA in states and districts across India. | To achieve Lower Maternal Mortality rate in line with the Sustainable Development Goal | Centrally Sponsored Scheme |
