The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) was launched by the Government of India in 2005 with the primary aim of improving the availability and accessibility of quality healthcare services to rural populations, particularly for vulnerable groups including women and children. The mission was part of the broader National Health Mission, which also encompasses urban health, but NRHM specifically focuses on rural areas where healthcare infrastructure and personnel have historically been inadequate. It seeks to strengthen healthcare delivery at the grassroots level by enhancing the infrastructure, human resources, and community participation. One of the key provisions of the NRHM is the establishment of a comprehensive healthcare network that operates through sub-centers, primary health centers (PHCs), and community health centers (CHCs). The mission emphasizes upgrading existing facilities to ensure they are equipped with the necessary infrastructure, medical equipment, and essential drugs. Special attention is given to remote and underserved areas, where mobile medical units are deployed to provide outreach services. The mission also promotes the integration of health programs, aiming for a holistic approach to maternal and child health, immunization, communicable and non-communicable diseases, and nutrition. Human resource development is another core component of the NRHM. The mission seeks to address the shortage of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers in rural areas. To achieve this, the NRHM supports recruitment, training, and retention of medical professionals and paramedical staff. Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) are a unique feature of the mission; these community-based health workers act as the interface between the rural population and the public health system. ASHAs play a critical role in promoting health awareness, facilitating access to healthcare services,
