Status evidence

Active

Fetched the NHM/MoHFW JSY page (nhm.gov.in, level=3 lid=309), which describes JSY as a current 100% centrally-sponsored NHM scheme with active cash-assistance amounts and special focus on Bihar as a Low Performing State. State Health Society Bihar maintains a live JSY maternal-health programme page (shs.bihar.gov.in) confirming state implementation. Could not pull an exact current-FY Bihar budget figure, but it is an ongoing core NHM intervention.
