INTRODUCTION: JSY is an ambitious scheme launched in April 2005, under the “National Health Mission”, the Government of India’s flagship health programme. The scheme is a safe motherhood intervention and seeks to reduce maternal and neo- natal mortality by promotion institutional delivery, i.e. by providing a cash incentives to mothers and let them to deliver their baby in a health facility. There is also provision for cost reimbursement for transport and incentives to ASHA s for encouraging mothers to go for institutional delivery. The scheme is fully sponsored by the Central Govt & is implemented in all states and union territories (Uts) with special focus on low performing states. There is provision for roping in the private sector by giving accreditation to willing private hospitals / Nursing homes for providing delivery services. Meaning of JSY: JSY under NHM is being opposed by way of modifying the existing National Maternity Benefit Scheme(NMBS).While NMBS is linked to provision of better diet for pw from BPL families,JSY itegrates the cash assistance with antenatal care during the pregnency period ,institutional care during delivery and immediate post natum period in a health centre by establishing a system of coordinated care by field level health worker .

The secondary data was collected from various articles, reports, research papers, internet sources and sarupathar block PHC. REVIEW OF LITERATURE • According to the report on “Government of India, Ministry of Health and Family welfare Maternal Health Division Nirman Bhavan, New- Delhi, 2006” there should be the special dispensation for pregnant women from Low Performing States (LPS) like Uttar Pradesh , Uttaranchal , Bihar , Jharkhand , Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh , Assam , J & K. Age certificate is an instrument that is available easily . Many LPS states have yet to get the process of birth registration organized in rural area. In view of this , for all BPL pregnant woman belonging to LPS states any kind of age certification would not be insisted upon for availing the benefits of JSY. • According to “NRHM common Review Mission 2007” reported that JSY has put pressures on the public health system, and to large extend of outpatient attendance in general - but it is more mixed where the patient attendance or surgeries or diagnostics etc. However, even in these though rate or improvement may not be commensurate, the trend is still upward. • The series of assessment study report on ASHA and JSY in different states of India (2007), discusses the status of ASHA and the JSY schemes after two years of implementation of the NRHM, the studies indicate that the training period was not according to the requirements of the program, that there was some delay in payment to ASHA and that 75% of the JSY beneficiaries had received funds within a week. The studies also highlight that in spite of the JSY funds related satisfaction being relatively high, it could not be cited as the major reason for the preference for intuitional delivery. From the above study it has been found that there is no clear cut picture about the performences of JSY ,perticularly in rural areas.So in this paper a small effort has been made to study about the performence Of JSY in Sarupathar Block PHC,of Assam.

Before we discuss about the performence of JSY in the study area we have to first look into the common features of this scheme. Features:- (1) States/ Uts have been classified into two categories based on the institutional delivery rate. The 10 states( Namely Uttar Pradesh , Uttaranchal , Bihar , Jharkhand , Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh ,Rajasthan , Orissa, Assam , J & K) would constitute low performing states and the rest high performing states. (2) Cash assistance linked to institution delivery:- The benefits under the scheme would be linked to availing of antenatal check up by the pregnant woman and getting the delivery conducted in health centres / hospitals . While the beneficiaries will be encouraged to register themselves with the health workers at the Sub centre / AWC /PHC for availing of at least 3 Antenatal Checkups, Post natal care and neonatal care , the disbursement of enhanced benefits under the scheme will be linked to institutional delivery .
