NRHM seeks to provide accessible, affordable and quality health care to the rural population, especially the vulnerable sections. As the indicators of health depend as much on drinking water, nutrition, sanitation, female literacy, women’s empowerment as they do on functional health facilities, NRHM seeks to adopt a convergent approach for interventions under the umbrella of the district plan which seeks to integrate all the related initiatives at the village, block and district levels. The District Health Action Plan would be the main instrument for planning, Inter-sectoral convergence, implementation and monitoring of the activities under the Mission. Rather than funds being allocated to the states for implementing programmes designed and approved at the GOI level, the States would be encouraged to prepare their perspective and annual plan which in turn would be based on the District Plans. Village is envisaged as the primary unit for planning, therefore, village health plans are being prepared which will be collated as block plans. Block Plans are then proposed to be pooled into a District Plan. All 22 District plans when collated will form a State Programme Implementation Plan for NRHM for 2007-12.
