Government schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Matritva Vandana Yojana give some money to mothers, but applying needs papers and a bank account, which is a struggle for us in the fields. In our life, most women work right until the pain starts, and there is no paid rest. My wife had our last child under the neem tree near the field because the hospital was too far and we couldn't lose a day's wages. So these benefits feel like a distant town we hear about but cannot reach.
