MAMATA-PMMVY

On 14 May 2025, the Government of Odisha approved the co-branding and joint implementation of the MAMATA Scheme and Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) by the Women & Child Development Department with effect from 1 April 2025. The scheme has been designed to address maternal and infant under nutrition and to improve health and nutrition outcomes among pregnant women and children across the State.

MAMATA–PMMVY is a flagship conditional cash transfer maternity benefit programme of the Women & Child Development Department, Government of Odisha. The scheme promotes early registration of pregnancy, regular antenatal and postnatal care, institutional delivery, immunisation, and optimal nutrition and childcare practices. Through financial incentives linked to key health and nutrition milestones, the scheme encourages positive health-seeking behaviour and greater utilization of maternal and child healthcare services.

Under the scheme, each eligible pregnant woman receives financial assistance of ₹12,000 for the birth of a girl child and ₹10,000 for the birth of a boy child as partial wage compensation to support improved nutrition and health during pregnancy and after childbirth.

The scheme covers up to two live births for eligible pregnant women belonging to households with an annual family income of less than ₹8 lakh, including women from Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs). Recognizing the unique demographic vulnerabilities of PVTG communities, the two-live-birth eligibility criterion has been relaxed for them, allowing eligible women from PVTG households to avail benefits for all live births. The scheme is expected to contribute significantly to the reduction of maternal and infant mortality, improvement of nutritional status, and enhancement of overall maternal and child well-being in Odisha.
