Solution : The correct answer is (b) Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY).

The Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) is a poverty eradication program launched by the Government of India specifically for women empowerment. It is a maternity benefit scheme that provides financial assistance to pregnant women and lactating mothers for their first live birth. The program aims to improve the health and nutrition status of pregnant women and lactating mothers, reduce maternal and infant mortality rates, and promote the well-being of mothers and children. Under the PMMVY, eligible beneficiaries receive a cash incentive to support their nutritional and health needs during pregnancy and childbirth. The program is implemented across all states and union territories in India and plays a crucial role in empowering women by ensuring their well-being during the critical phase of motherhood.
