Explanationव्याख्या
All five statements are correct according to the source.
Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana was launched on 1 January 2017 and completed nine years of implementation on 1 January 2026.
The scheme is described as a Centrally Sponsored flagship programme under the Ministry of Women & Child Development.
Its broad objective is to improve maternal health and nutrition through direct financial assistance, particularly for socially and economically disadvantaged women.
The benefit structure provided in the source is important.
PMMVY provides ₹5,000 for the first child and ₹6,000 for the second girl child.
The latter provision is associated with promoting support for the girl child.
The source also states that ₹3,000 is paid at pregnancy registration and ₹2,000 after childbirth as the two main instalments associated with the first-child cash benefit.
Beneficiaries can additionally receive incentives under Janani Suraksha Yojana.
The scale of the programme is substantial: total enrolment has reached more than 4.5 crore women, while over ₹19,000 crore has been disbursed since inception to support needs including checkups, medicines and nutrition.
These figures are particularly suitable for statement-based examination questions.
Students should remember: 2017 launch, 2026 ninth anniversary, Ministry of Women & Child Development, ₹5,000 first child, ₹6,000 second girl child, 4.5 crore+ enrolment and ₹19,000 crore+ disbursement.
Another useful distinction is that PMMVY is described in the source as Centrally Sponsored.
Every statement in this question reproduces information explicitly provided in the material.
Therefore statements 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are all correct, making option D the correct answer.
