National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) was launched in April, 2005 to provide accessible, affordable and quality health care particularly to the rural population. This has since been subsumed into National Health Mission after launching of National Urban Health Mission in 2013.

Public Health and hospitals is a State subject. The primary responsibility to ensure adequate level of healthcare facilities in rural areas lies within the jurisdiction of State Governments.  However, under the Mission, financial and technical support is provided to States/UTs to strengthen their healthcare systemincluding for setting up new healthcare facilities and up-gradation of existing healthcare facilities, based on proposals received from States/UTs in their Programme Implementation Plan, within their resource envelope.

The Minister of State (Health and Family Welfare), Shri Ashwini Kumar Choubey stated this in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha here today.
