Abstract

Health is under state government list in the schedule seven of the constitution of India, although central government
funds 100% for all its flagships programmes such as Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY), some states make significant
contributions to it. JSY is a conditional cash transfer (CCT) programme launched in 2005. The state of Uttar Pradesh
[UP] does not add any additional amount to centrally transferred benefit of Rs.1400 for rural and Rs.1000 per urban,
while Tamil Nadu [TN] contributes significantly from the state budget as well, in total provide Rs.18000 for each
woman delivered at the facility. Thus, we examined the effect of this differential CCT in child survival stratified by
economic status in these two selected states using the latest NFHS (2015-16) data. The findings suggest that the
probability of death vary significantly for children with women availed JSY than those who are not, in both states.
However, in TN, the higher size of CCT makes it more impactful on child survival than UP. Further, it suggests mere
availing of JSY, although improve, but not ensure the catch-up in survival chances of children in UP at par with TN,
unless former raise CCT incentive at par with the later.
