Expansion and Impact of Health Services under NRHM in Rajasthan

The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), launched by the Government of India in 2005, aims to improve healthcare delivery across rural India, particularly in underserved regions. Rajasthan, a state known for its vast rural expanse and diverse population, presents unique challenges and opportunities in the healthcare sector. This research paper investigates the expansion and impact of health services provided under NRHM in Rajasthan, focusing on the accessibility, quality, and outcomes of healthcare services in rural areas. The paper examines various facets of the NRHM program, including infrastructural development, workforce strengthening, reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health, while assessing the socio-economic implications of improved healthcare access in rural Rajasthan.
