The Ministry of Health (MoHFW) offers the Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) to promote institutional delivery, providing cash incentives to mothers. Additionally, the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) provides โ‚น5,000 in three installments for the first child.

Maternal Nutrition and Anemia Prevention

Anemia is a major concern in India. The government's 'Anemia Mukt Bharat' program emphasizes Iron and Folic Acid (IFA) supplementation. Indian pregnant women are advised to consume a diet rich in green leafy vegetables, jaggery, and citrus fruits. Our tool identifies your nutritional needs at each stage of your pregnancy, helping you follow the guidelines set by the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) for a healthy Indian baby.

Antenatal Care (ANC) Milestones in India

The MoHFW recommends at least four ANC visits, though monthly visits are ideal in the later stages. These visits include Tetanus Toxoid (TT) vaccinations and monitoring for gestational hypertension. Our calculator maps these Indian clinical milestones, helping you prepare for your visits to government hospitals or private maternity clinics across India's diverse states.
