India's National Rural Health Mission: A Critical Review of the Mission Implementation and Achievements

Abstract People’s health is the State’s wealth. A majority of the population in India lives in the rural areas. Though there are many health policies in India, they could not reach the rural masses due to poor implementation. In the wake of this, the Government of India launched the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in April 2005 as a sub-mission of the National Health Mission.

The strategy in NRHM contains ‘Programme Implementation Plans’ for each state and it is more focused on special status states that are weak in public health indicators. The mission’s vision is to be more community-owned and decentralized in providing health care to the larger populations.

This paper attempts to review the mission’s objectives, implementation, and achievements. It also tries to examine the role of the new national health program of India ‘Ayushman Bharat’ through its objectives. In addition, the study evaluated the functioning of the mission in tribal areas of the country. It analyses the convergence and divergence of the new policy with the National Health Mission, but not merely a repetition of the same. Secondary analysis using the government reports, and published works on the mission was used in this study.
Keywords Health, National Health Mission, National Rural Health Mission, Ayushman Bharat, National Health Policy.
