“Under Mission Parivar Vikas Yojana, the government has increased the compensation for men and women for sterilization as earlier; it was Rs 2000 for men but has increased to Rs 3000 now. Similarly, for women, the compensation has been increased from Rs 1400 to Rs 2000 and from Rs 2200 to Rs 3000 for post abortion cases and for post delivery cases,” district programme officer for family planning Dr Santosh Sisodiya said.
