Madhya Pradesh Mukhyamantri Shramik Seva Prasuti Sahayata Yojana
Pregnancy and childbirth often mean lost wages and health risks for women who work in construction. The Mukhyamantri Shramik Seva Prasuti Sahayata Yojana of the Government of Madhya Pradesh gives registered construction worker families ₹16,000 in maternity assistance, linked to health milestones so that a mother gets financial support and proper medical care together. The scheme began in 2004 as the Prasuti Sahayata Yojana of the MP Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board, and it is now run by the Public Health and Family Welfare Department.
