Under the mandate of the National Common Minimum programme (NCMP) of the UPA Government, health care is one of the 7 thrust areas wherein it is proposed to increase the expenditure in health sector from 0.9 % of GDP to 2-3% of GDP over the next five years. Accordingly, a National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) was launched on 12 'h April 2005 for a period of 7 years (2005-2012), i.e. for two years of Tenth Plan and full Eleventh Plan. The objective is to provide accessible, affordable, accountable, effective and reliable health care, especially to poor and vulnerable sections of the population in rural areas. The Mission provides an overarching umbrella, subsuming the existing programs of the Ministry. It is operational over the entire country with special focus on 18 States viz. 8 empowered action group states (Bihar, Jharkhand, M.P, Chhattisgarh, U.P., Uttaranchal, Orissa and Rajasthan), 8 northeast states (Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura), Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir. The Mission is an articulation of the commitment of the Government to increase the outlays for health from 0.9% to 2-3% of GDP over the next five years and to undertake systemic correction of the health system to effectively utilize such increased outlays for sustainable outcomes.
