Health of the mothers is of prime concern for growth of any country, and their level of empowerment can be significantly related to the place of delivery selected for birth of a child. Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) is an astute attempt towards safeguarding maternal health by Government of India under the flagship health programme, National Rural Health Mission, to promote institutional deliveries among the poor pregnant women. Safe deliveries at the institutions are an indicator of women empowerment and inclusive growth, which paves the way towards economic growth by securing the health and well-being of mothers in rural areas, thereby sustaining productive capacities of women. The chapter assesses the rise in proportion of institutional deliveries among JSY beneficiaries with increased awareness under JSY in Punjab, after carefully assessing the situation of maternal health prevailing in the world, India, and state of Punjab. Further, policy measures have been recommended to augment women's health and empowerment, an inclusive economic growth parameter of country's growth trajectory.
