Out of total 80 women in the study group, 90% had heard about JSY. Majorsource of information, came from ASHA (48.75%) followed by other sources like TV, radio, friendsand relatives (40%) and ANM (8.75), AWW (2.5%). Regarding the knowledge of women in context of various components of JSY shows that 93.75% stated that money is being paid for delivering in the hospital. Most of the women (87.5%) felt that money is being given for maintenance of mother andchild health at the time of delivery.
