Women living below the poverty line cannot meet their health needs during pregnancy. The availability of medical facilities in rural areas is still very difficult. In view of all these difficulties, the Central Government has started this scheme. Through this scheme, the government wants to reduce maternal mortality as well as neonatal mortality. It also allows safe delivery to poor women in the hospital so that mothers and newborns can avoid emergency situations.
