The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs today
approved the proposal for implementation of Indira Gandhi Matritva
Sahyog Yojana (IGMSY) in whole Chhatrapati Sahuji Maharaj (CSM) Nagar
district of Uttar Pradesh comprising five tehsils and also includes this
as an additional district to already approved list of 52 districts.
The expenditure for three tehsils of CSM Nagar (Musafirkhana, Amethi and
Gauriganj) is already included in the proposal approved by the CCEA.
Addition of two remaining tehsils of Tiloi and Salon to cover full CSM
Nagar which would require additional funding of Rs. 11 crore for 32000
more beneficiaries. This will be met within the approved allocation of
Rs. 520 under BE 2012-13.
Background:
The Indira Gandhi Matritva Sahyog Yojana (IGMSY), a centrally sponsored
conditional maternity benefit schemes was approved by Cabinet Committee
on Economic Affairs in its meeting on 20.10.2010. The scheme is
operational in 52 districts of all States/ UTs across the country, on
pilot basis, to improve the health and nutrition status of pregnant and
lactating women and their young infants. The scheme also includes
Sultanpur and Mahoba districts of Uttar Pradesh.
On 01.07.2010 a new district, namely, Chhatrapati Sahuji Maharaj (CSM)
Nagar was carved out by the Government of UP by merging three tehsils
from erstwhile Sultanpur district (Musafirkhana, Amethi and Gauriganj)
and two tehsils of Raibareli district (Salon and Tiloi). In the changed
situation, new Sultanpur district comprises of three tehsils i.e.,
Sadar, Kadipur and Lambhua. The remaining three tehsils (Musafirkhana,
Amethi and Gauriganj) of erstwhile Sultanpur district now form part of
CSM Nagar. As the CCEA approved the proposal of the Ministry for
erstwhile Sultanpur district having six tehsils. In the changed
scenario, implementation of IGMSY is limited to Sultanpur district
comprising only three tehsils. The remaining three tehsils, namely
Musafirkhana, Amethi and Gauriganj of erstwhile Sultanpur is left out of
the purview of IGMSY. The Government of UP has requested inclusion of
the remaining two tehsils of Chhatrapati Sahuji Maharaj Nagar, namely
Salon and Tiloi, transferred from Rae Bareily district under IGMSY in
addition to the three tehsils transferred from erstwhile Sultanpur so
that the entire CSM Nagar district is covered under the Scheme.
