The State Government has constituted 48,340 Gram Sabha Health Ad Hoc Committees for concretising concept of clean and healthy villages. Through these committees, work has been started to fulfil all the factors of public health, nutrition, clean drinking water and sanitation with a view to concretising concept of clean and healthy villages.
Gram Sabha Health Ad Hoc committees and village health centres are significant steps towards concretising concept of clean and healthy villages through “Hamara Swasthya, Hamara Dayitva” scheme.
Through Gram Sabha Health Ad Hoc Committees, villagers will be given powers at the village-level to control service providers and fiscal management, participation in implementation and monitoring of schemes. Members of these committees are being trained and empowered through State Health Resource Centre.
A GIS-based village level plan has also been chalked out to implement departmental schemes in villages. Arrangement for collecting computer-based information will be made through Community Health Centres. A sum of `50 crore has been allocated at the rate of `10,000 per committee.
At present, all the health centres are running smoothly and regular meetings of committees are being held. For making schemes community-based under “Hamara Swasthya, Hamara Dayitva” scheme, one lakh health workers including ASHA workers,
