Rajasthan Janani Shishu Suraksha Yojana / Navjat Suraksha MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram was launched by the Government of India on 1 June 2011. The 2014 milestone relates to the later extension of entitlements, while Rajasthan's state rollout took place on 12 September 2011.

Navjat Shishu Suraksha Karyakram has been implemented nationally since 2009 to train doctors and health workers involved in delivery and newborn care. Its revised format combines classroom and hands-on training; it is not a separate cash or insurance benefit.

The free-diet norm is 3 days for normal delivery and 7 days for caesarean delivery. Navjat Shishu Suraksha Karyakram is the newborn-care training programme running since 2009. Covered transport links home to the institution, inter-facility referral, and drop-back home.

Statement 1 is correct: delivery in a public health institution is free and cashless, including caesarean section. Statement 2 is incorrect because transport has three covered legs—home to institution, inter-facility referral, and drop-back home after the stay.

Both statements are correct and capture the exam-relevant distinction. Janani Suraksha Yojana is principally a conditional cash-incentive scheme for institutional delivery, whereas Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram removes service and transport expenses through a free entitlement package.
