As per the data released by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's Public Health Department, more than 74,000 people have benefited from the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY). Between May 2018 and November 2019, Rs 26.07 crores fund has been distributed to these beneficiaries under the PMMVY scheme.

The objective of the PMMVY scheme is to offer cash incentives in the form of partial compensation for the wage loss of women who have delivered their first child in order to ensure that they can take adequate rest before and after delivery. The scheme's cash incentive is aimed at leading to improve health-seeking behaviour among pregnant women and lactating mothers.
