Giving a push to the KCR Kits program, the Telangana government today released Rs 420.50 crores for it.
According to information received, the government took a decision to further boost the scheme, named after the CM, which is believed to have significantly enhanced institutional deliveries. Women in all districts are said to be preferring government hospitals for deliveries due to the government giving money and a kit comprising objects useful for both the mother and the child upon delivery, as part of the scheme.
The government is offering Rs 13,000 to a woman upon delivery of a girl and Rs 12,000 in case of delivery of a boy, as the cash component of the scheme.
