Rs 40,000 maternity grant for pregnant women in the hill districts
“We will provide a maternity grant of ₹ 40,000 to pregnant women residing in the hill districts of Uttarakhand.”
The verdict
No scheme paying Rs 40,000 to pregnant women in hill districts was found. A Mukhyamantri Jachcha-Bachcha Suraksha Yojana announced in Aug 2023 covers emergency airlift for pregnant women in remote areas, not a cash grant. Not rated pending better evidence.
Rule applied: In progress: deadline not reached; rating is provisional and not counted in the final score
