&lt;em&gt;The Rs 6,000 announced by the prime minister as universal maternity entitlements is already mandated under the National Food Security Act 2013, although the government has chosen not to implement it yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: In his New Year&amp;rsquo;s Eve address to nation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made some bizarre claims about the nature of the economy and the use of black money. But a large chunk of his speech was focused on something else entirely: welfare schemes his government plans to implement to better the lives of the poor. But are these schemes really new entitlements? For at least one of the promises Modi made, that does not seem to be the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The prime minister announced Rs 6,000 as maternity benefits to all pregnant women who go to a hospital for institutional deliveries. This scheme, Modi said, will be floated across 650 districts in the country and the money will be transferred directly to the bank accounts of the women. Maternity entitlements are meant to compensate for wages lost due to pregnancy and give access to the nutrition necessary for the health of both the mother and the child. While women who are employed in formal sector are offered maternity benefits like paid leave by their employers, no such benefits exist for women in the unorganised sector, making universal entitlements from the government especially important for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This sounds good, but also very familiar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2013, the National Food Security Act (NFSA) mandated that &amp;ldquo;maternity benefits of not less than rupees six thousand, in such instalments as may be prescribed by the Central Government&amp;rdquo; should be paid to all pregnant women. Modi made no reference to this pre-existing legislation even though he merely repeated what it said, perhaps trying to indicate that this was a novel scheme. It is difficult to imagine this being anything other than a deliberate attempt to mislead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The enactment of this clause in the NFSA would have meant universalising the Indira Gandhi Matritva Sahyog Yojana (IGMSY), currently running as a pilot in 53 districts in the country. But despite this provision, a lack of budgetary provisions has meant that the scheme was not universalised and only (some) women already under the pilot programme have been receiving the benefits. Was Modi&amp;rsquo;s claim, then, a promise to better implement the NFSA? If so, and it certainly looks that way, why did he fail to clarify that?&lt;br /&gt;

But a large chunk of his speech was focused on something else entirely: welfare schemes his government plans to implement to better the lives of the poor. But are these schemes really new entitlements? For at least one of the promises Modi made, that does not seem to be the case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The prime minister announced Rs 6,000 as maternity benefits to all pregnant women who go to a hospital for institutional deliveries. This scheme, Modi said, will be floated across 650 districts in the country and the money will be transferred directly to the bank accounts of the women. Maternity entitlements are meant to compensate for wages lost due to pregnancy and give access to the nutrition necessary for the health of both the mother and the child. While women who are employed in formal sector are offered maternity benefits like paid leave by their employers, no such benefits exist for women in the unorganised sector, making universal entitlements from the government especially important for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This sounds good, but also very familiar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2013, the National Food Security Act (NFSA) mandated that &amp;ldquo;maternity benefits of not less than rupees six thousand, in such instalments as may be prescribed by the Central Government&amp;rdquo; should be paid to all pregnant women. Modi made no reference to this pre-existing legislation even though he merely repeated what it said, perhaps trying to indicate that this was a novel scheme. It is difficult to imagine this being anything other than a deliberate attempt to mislead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The enactment of this clause in the NFSA would have meant universalising the Indira Gandhi Matritva Sahyog Yojana (IGMSY), currently running as a pilot in 53 districts in the country. But despite this provision, a lack of budgetary provisions has meant that the scheme was not universalised and only (some) women already under the pilot programme have been receiving the benefits. Was Modi&amp;rsquo;s claim, then, a promise to better implement the NFSA? If so, and it certainly looks that way, why did he fail to clarify that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://thewire.in/91011/modi-maternity-entitlements/&quot; title=&quot;https://thewire.in/91011/modi-maternity-entitlements/&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;The Rs 6,000 announced by the prime minister as universal maternity entitlements is already mandated under the National Food Security Act 2013, although the government has chosen not to implement it yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: In his New Year&amp;rsquo;s Eve address to nation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made some bizarre claims about the nature of the economy and the use of black money. But a large chunk of his speech was focused on something else entirely: welfare schemes his government plans to implement to better the lives of the poor. But are these schemes really new entitlements? For at least one of the promises Modi made, that does not seem to be the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The prime minister announced Rs 6,000 as maternity benefits to all pregnant women who go to a hospital for institutional deliveries. This scheme, Modi said, will be floated across 650 districts in the country and the money will be transferred directly to the bank accounts of the women. Maternity entitlements are meant to compensate for wages lost due to pregnancy and give access to the nutrition necessary for the health of both the mother and the child. While women who are employed in formal sector are offered maternity benefits like paid leave by their employers, no such benefits exist for women in the unorganised sector, making universal entitlements from the government especially important for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This sounds good, but also very familiar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2013, the National Food Security Act (NFSA) mandated that &amp;ldquo;maternity benefits of not less than rupees six thousand, in such instalments as may be prescribed by the Central Government&amp;rdquo; should be paid to all pregnant women. Modi made no reference to this pre-existing legislation even though he merely repeated what it said, perhaps trying to indicate that this was a novel scheme. It is difficult to imagine this being anything other than a deliberate attempt to mislead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The enactment of this clause in the NFSA would have meant universalising the Indira Gandhi Matritva Sahyog Yojana (IGMSY), currently running as a pilot in 53 districts in the country. But despite this provision, a lack of budgetary provisions has meant that the scheme was not universalised and only (some) women already under the pilot programme have been receiving the benefits.

New Delhi: In his New Year&rsquo;s Eve address to nation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made some bizarre claims about the nature of the economy and the use of black money.

After Ignoring Mandated Maternity Entitlements, Modi Makes a Recycled Promise -Jahnavi Sen

-TheWire.in The Rs 6,000 announced by the prime minister as universal maternity entitlements is already mandated under the National Food Security Act 2013, although the government has chosen not to implement it yet. New Delhi: In his New Year’s Eve address to nation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made some bizarre claims about the nature of the economy and the use of black money. But a large chunk of his speech was focused on something else entirely: welfare schemes his government plans to implement to better the lives of the poor. But are these schemes really new entitlements? For at least one of the promises Modi made, that does not seem to be the case. The prime minister announced Rs 6,000 as maternity benefits to all pregnant women who go to a hospital for institutional deliveries. This scheme, Modi said, will be floated across 650 districts in the country and the money will be transferred directly to the bank accounts of the women. Maternity entitlements are meant to compensate for wages lost due to pregnancy and give access to the nutrition necessary for the health of both the mother and the child. While women who are employed in formal sector are offered maternity benefits like paid leave by their employers, no such benefits exist for women in the unorganised sector, making universal entitlements from the government especially important for them. This sounds good, but also very familiar. In 2013, the National Food Security Act (NFSA) mandated that “maternity benefits of not less than rupees six thousand, in such instalments as may be prescribed by the Central Government” should be paid to all pregnant women. Modi made no reference to this pre-existing legislation even though he merely repeated what it said, perhaps trying to indicate that this was a novel scheme. It is difficult to imagine this being anything other than a deliberate attempt to mislead. The enactment of this clause in the NFSA would have meant universalising the Indira Gandhi Matritva Sahyog Yojana (IGMSY), currently running as a pilot in 53 districts in the country. But despite this provision, a lack of budgetary provisions has meant that the scheme was not universalised and only (some) women already under the pilot programme have been receiving the benefits.
