Raipur, June 28, 2026/ Chhattisgarh has achieved a historic achievement, securing first place nationwide in the special campaign conducted from June 15 to July 15 for the registration of pregnant and lactating mothers under the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana. The state achieved remarkable success by completing 72 percent of the target set in just nine days of the campaign.

The state has not only achieved the highest level in the country in beneficiary registration, but has also surpassed all other states in resolving pre-registered beneficiary complaints. This achievement is the result of the coordinated and dedicated efforts of the Women and Child Development Department, Anganwadi workers, supervisors, field staff, and all relevant stakeholders.

Under the special campaign, Janjgir-Champa district has achieved an outstanding performance, securing first place in the entire state with 96 percent target achievement. This achievement reflects the district's sensitivity, proactiveness, and effective approach to maternal and child welfare.

The Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) is an important maternal welfare scheme of the Government of India, which aims to provide financial support to pregnant and lactating women for nutrition, health care, and safe motherhood. Under the scheme, eligible women are provided a financial assistance of ₹5,000 on the birth of their first live child, while an incentive of ₹6,000 is given on the birth of a girl child as their second child. This scheme is playing a vital role in protecting women's health, promoting institutional delivery, and ensuring better nutrition and overall development of infants.

On this proud achievement, Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai congratulated and congratulated the entire team of the Women and Child Development Department, the field staff, and all the partner organizations. He said that maternal and child health is among the top priorities of the state government. The Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana is not only providing safe motherhood to women but also laying a strong foundation for a healthy future for children. He expressed confidence that Chhattisgarh will achieve its 100% target in the coming days and emerge as a role model for the country.

Women and Child Development Minister Smt. Laxmi Rajwade heartily congratulated departmental officials, employees, Anganwadi workers, and all stakeholders on this remarkable achievement, stating that this success is the result of collective commitment, continuous monitoring, and dedication to public welfare. She said the state government is committed to ensuring that every eligible pregnant and lactating mother can access the benefits of the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana.

He appealed to all eligible women of the state to get themselves registered by taking advantage of the special campaign being run till July 15, so that they can get proper benefits of the government schemes in this important phase of motherhood.
