JananiSurakshaYojna (State Plan):
This scheme was launched in April, 2008 under the State Plan. Under this scheme an assistance of Rs.1500/- is given to each pregnant woman belonging to SC/ST family for delivery in the health institution, be it in Govt. or Private sector, provided she is above 19 years of age. This assistance is given in three installments i.e. 1st installment of Rs.500/- on registration of pregnancy case, second installment of Rs.500/- on getting check-up done in 3rd trimester and Rs.500/- on the day of delivery or maximum within 5 working days after delivery.
Even for a pregnant SC/ST woman coming directly for delivery to the institution without any prior antenatal check-up, full payment of Rs.1500/- is made.
Implementation of Quality INC and IPPC Standards:
A new initiative has been under taken by Maternal Health Division of NRHM Haryana. Tool designed by JHPIEGO is being used for scoring our labour rooms and for further improvement in Intra-partum and Immediate Post-partum. The standards for Intra-partum & Immediate Post-Partum Care will be implemented in all the delivery points of the State.
The tool includes 40 clinical standards:

The delivery points will be assessed for three assessments – Baseline, Internal & External. Each assessment will have 3 months gap, so that the identified standard gaps can be filled by the concerned. Scoring will be given to each facility for measuring improvements made. A team of consultants will do the assessment of the delivery points. An action plan for filling up of the gaps will be made on spot with identified responsible personnel for implementation of standards in the facilities.
