Janani Suraksha Yojana 2026: Check Application Process

The Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) is a 'safe motherhood' initiative launched by the Government of India in 2005 under the 'National Health Mission.' The primary objective of this scheme is to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates by encouraging pregnant women particularly those from poor and rural families to opt for institutional deliveries at government or accredited private hospitals. Under the JSY, eligible women receive not only free medical care during pregnancy and childbirth but also financial assistance. 'ASHA' (Accredited Social Health Activist) workers are also integral to this scheme; they assist women in accessing healthcare services and ensure safe deliveries, thereby contributing to the overall improvement of maternal and child health across the country.
