The “Janani Suraksha Yojana” in Bihar aims to promote:

Safe motherhood and reduce maternal mortality
Child nutrition
Vaccination for adults
Yoga and wellness

The correct answer is: Safe motherhood and reduce maternal mortality.

The Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) is a government of India scheme launched in 2005 to reduce maternal mortality and improve the health of mothers and newborn children. The scheme provides cash incentives to pregnant women who deliver their babies in institutional facilities, and also provides for free transportation to and from the hospital, free food and medicines, and free blood transfusions if needed.

The JSY has been successful in increasing the number of women delivering their babies in institutional facilities. In 2005, only 41% of births in India took place in hospitals or other medical facilities. By 2015, this number had increased to 79%. The JSY has also been credited with reducing the maternal mortality rate in India. In 2005, the maternal mortality rate was 212 deaths per 100,000 live births. By 2015, this number had declined to 130 deaths per 100,000 live births.

The JSY is a valuable program that has helped to improve the health of mothers and newborn children in India. The scheme has been successful in increasing the number of women delivering their babies in institutional facilities, and has also been credited with reducing the maternal mortality rate.

The other options are incorrect because they are not the primary focus of the JSY. Child nutrition, vaccination for adults, and yoga and wellness are all important issues, but they are not the main focus of the JSY. The JSY is a program that aims to promote safe motherhood and reduce maternal mortality.
