Official UPSC Answer KeyUPSC Prelims 2012 • Indian Economy

Correct Answer: Option (A) — 1 and 2 only

Concept & Option Breakdown

Standard Reference Verified

Statements 1 and 2 are correct: Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY), a safe motherhood intervention under the National Health Mission, aims to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality by promoting institutional delivery among poor pregnant women through conditional cash transfers/monetary assistance. Statement 3 is incorrect: JSY does not compensate for wage loss; wage compensation during pregnancy is addressed under schemes like Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) / Maternity Benefit Act.

Elimination Heuristic & Exam Approach

JSY focuses strictly on promoting institutional delivery via conditional financial incentives, not as a general wage compensation scheme.
