💡 Analysis & Explanation

Economy.
Context ▼
Health Schemes in India.
Details ▼
Statement 1 is incorrect; JSY is a 100% Centrally Sponsored Scheme under the National Health Mission (NHM), not a State Health Department initiative. Statements 2 and 3 are correct; its primary goal is to lower maternal and infant mortality by incentivizing institutional deliveries. Statement 4 is incorrect; providing free treatment to sick infants up to one year is covered under the Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakaram (JSSK), not JSY. Thus, only two statements are correct.
