Maharashtra launched the ‘Majha Gaon, Arogyasampann Gaon’ initiative with a budget of ₹65.25 crore to improve rural healthcare delivery. The programme emphasises preventive healthcare, focusing on sanitation, clean drinking water, nutrition, and disease control, including mental health and lifestyle-related illnesses. It adopts a decentralised administrative structure with committees at state, district, and village levels to ensure effective implementation. Villages meeting specific health benchmarks are recognised as ‘Arogyasampann Gaon’. The initiative aligns with the broader objective of enhancing public health infrastructure and awareness, especially in rural areas, marking its launch on World Health Day.
