True about incentives given to ASHA worker in Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram:
The question is asking which statements are true regarding the incentives given to ASHA workers under JSSK. The options are A, B, C, D, but they're not provided here. However, the correct answer is likely related to specific incentives like cash payments for promoting institutional deliveries or immunizations.
I remember that under JSSK, ASHA workers receive financial incentives for each institutional delivery they facilitate. There's also an incentive for immunizations, maybe per child. The amount might vary, but typically it's a fixed sum per successful referral. Also, there might be non-cash incentives like training or recognition, but the key ones are monetary.
Now, if the options included incentives for antenatal care visits, that might be incorrect because the main focus is on institutional deliveries and immunizations. Similarly, incentives for postnatal care might not be part of JSSK specifically. So, the correct answer would highlight the cash incentives for institutional deliveries and immunizations.
I need to make sure about the exact amounts. From what I recall, the incentive for institutional delivery is around ₹300-500, and for immunization, it's about ₹50-100 per child, but this can vary by state. Also, ASHA workers might receive incentives for each referral that results in a delivery at a public health facility.
The distractors might include incorrect amounts, incorrect services being incentivized, or non-existent incentives. For example, an option stating that ASHA gets money for every antenatal check-up would be wrong because JSSK's incentives are more targeted towards institutional deliveries and immunizations.
So, the correct answer is likely an option that mentions cash incentives for institutional deliveries and immunizations. The other options would be incorrect for various reasons, like targeting the wrong services or incorrect amounts.
**Core Concept**
The Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (JSSK) provides financial incentives to Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) to promote institutional deliveries and immunization. Key components include cash rewards for facilitating institutional births and ensuring complete immunization of children.
**Why the Correct Answer is Right**
ASHA workers receive **₹300 per institutional delivery** (if the mother delivers at a government facility) and **₹50 per fully immunized child** (up to 2 years of age). These incentives aim to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality by encouraging access to institutional care and vaccination services. The program is part of India’s National Health Mission (NHM) and is funded through the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
**Why Each Wrong Option is Incorrect**
**Option A:** Incorrect if it claims incentives for antenatal care visits—JSSK does not incentivize ANC visits.
**Option B:** Incorrect if it states a higher incentive amount, e.g., ₹1000 per delivery (actual is ₹300).
**Option C:** Incorrect if it includes incentives for post
