Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on Wednesday announced a hike in incentives for ASHA and Mamta workers. "ASHA workers will now receive an incentive of ₹3,000 instead of ₹1,000. Similarly, Mamta workers will be provided an incentive of ₹600/delivery instead of ₹300," he said. This move will further boost their morale and strengthen health services in rural areas, he added.
