Abstract

India's conditional cash transfer scheme to promote institutional deliveries, the Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY), has stimulated extraordinary attention and curiosity by public health stakeholders worldwide because of its scale, coverage, and budget. In just 4 years, its beneficiaries multiplied 11-fold, from 0·74 million in 2005–06 to 8·43 million in 2008–09 (thus covering nearly a third of the 26 million women who deliver in the country annually). Budgetary allocation for the JSY increased from a mere US$8·5 million to $275 million in the same period.
