What is the Key-Terms?

But, before you know when and how you can receive such benefits, you must know the following key terms.

Last Menstruation Period (LMP):

Mothers need to provide LMP for receiving these benefits. LMP refers to the 1st day of your last menstrual period before falling pregnant. This information is typically used to calculate the Expected Due Date (EDD) which is typically 40 (+/-) 2 weeks.

Mother and Care Protection Card:

The MCP card helps in timely identification, referral and management of complications during pregnancy, child birth and post natal period. The card also serves as a tool for providing complete immunization to infants and children, early and exclusive breast feeding, complementary feeding and monitoring their growth.

Timeline For Availing These Benefits

Now, that you have understood the terminologies, let us look at the timeline for availing these benefits:

The incentive is provided in three installments, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions related to maternal and child health. The first installment of Rs. 1000/- is provided on registration of pregnancy, the second installment of Rs. 2000/- is provided on receiving at least one antenatal check-up, and the third installment of Rs. 2000/- is provided on registration of the child's birth and completion of the first cycle of immunization.


Let us look at some of the important conditions and checklists that you must adhere to for availing these benefits:

Implementation and Funding of PMMVY

The Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) is implemented by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India, in collaboration with state governments. The scheme operates through the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) and the National Health Mission (NHM) at the district and block levels.

    My name is Bianca Ngwanya from South Africa. I will love to tell everybody on this blog how my status changed from hiv positive to negative, and i am now a living witness of it. HIV has been on going in my family. I lost both parents to hiv, and i have not been able to get over the pain. As we all know, medically there is no solution to hiv. Few months ago, someone introduced me to a native medical practitioner online called DR.WATER. I showed him all my tests and results. I was already diagnosed with hiv and it was already taking its toll on me. I had spent thousands of rands on other medicines before, but yet i decided to try him out. i was on his dosage for 3 weeks. Although i didn’t believe in it, i was just trying it out of frustration. After the 3 weeks, i went for new tests. And you won’t believe that 5 different laboratory results have confirmed it that i am negative. It was like a dream, i never believe HIV has a cure.  I just want to help others in anyway i can, i have included DR.WATER’s Whatsapp number and email at the end of this message. I have joined many forums and i have posted this testimonies and a lot of people have contacted DR.WATER through me and they were also negative after using his medicine. BBC news even published it live that DR.WATER can cure even Hepatitis, Coronary artery, Cancer,  Herpes, HPV, Asthma, Diabetes and many others. Everybody saw it and it is now out in some papers and magazines.

    Happiness is all i see now, I never thought that I will see this day when i will be healed and free from this virus. My name is Ceballos, I am in Santiago, Chile. I have been suffering from serious oubreakes of herpes for the past 3 years now; I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another in search of a good cure. From hospitals to hospitals, from gynacologist to another. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimonies on how people were cured of herpes with herbal remedies. I specicifically saw the name Dr.water as the healer who that was helping to heal people with this medicine. Quickly, I copied his email which is drwaterhivcurecentre@gmail.com. Just to give him a trial. I spoke to him, he asked me for some information, which I gave him. He told me that he is going to provide the herbal medicine to me, which he did and instructed me on how to use it. I used it and indeed my outbreaks were gone. But to be full convinced that i have been healed, he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days of using the herbal product. I went for the check up and confirmed that i was free from the deadly disease. Yes i was indeed healed from herpes. To show my gratitude, he only asked me to post the testimony to tell the whole world, which i am happily doing now. please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. And i will beg that you patronize him. if you are having a similar problem just Contact him on whatsapp; +2349050205019 or write him with the email above.
