National Rural Health Mission (NRHM)

The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), launched in India in 2005, aims to improve healthcare in rural areas, where access and quality have traditionally been limited. It focuses on strengthening healthcare infrastructure, training health workers, and ensuring affordable, quality services like maternal and child care. The mission also promotes community participation and decentralizes health system management to better address local needs. Overall, NRHM seeks to reduce health disparities between urban and rural populations, ensuring that rural communities receive comprehensive, accessible, and effective healthcare services.
