Analysis of Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana :
Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana is a successful scheme. Moreover, it got appreciation from public.
In fact, 5000 rupees is very less amount. At least women should get 12000 rupees.
This plan looks like as a gift. As this amount is not sufficient for the pregnant woman. So It is a gift from the government to them.
As many states offers free medical facilities for pregnant women. For example, Assam provides free medical assistance to preganant women. This support is highly commendable.
Above all, the registration process is complicated. Due to rampant corruption in the country, Government wants to track each payment.
Prime Minister dreams about digital India. Therefore, in the coming days the process of registration may become little easier.
In fact, Beneficiary can register themself usingUMANG app. But most of the beneficiaries hails from the villages. So registration should be simplified.
