National Rural Health Mission was launched nationwide on 12th April 2005. The journey of National Rural Health Mission and National Health Mission in U.T Chandigarh has witnessed the arrival of many milestones, which have been painted by our enthusiasm and strengthened by the implementation of the policies envisaged. We have attempted many innovative ventures like the Hub and Spoke model for strengthening Lab Services in HWCs, Ann Se Amrit, AMRIT Campaign, Poshan on Wheels, etc. which have shaped us as stepping stones into the arena of achievements with a difference.

As Mission Director, I am confident that the commitment of the grassroots level workers is our strength and shall go a long way in launching our achievements on the horizon of success. Our efforts have been recognized by Chandigarh being awarded as front runner amongst the UTs as per the report of the State Health Index. I hope we the team of Chandigarh NHM shall explore the ventures not attempted so far and achieve results that seemed Unachievable til
