    (Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, 2016) Pandey, Vinita; Sukhjeet Kaur
    The present study attempts to analyze the impact of National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) programme in rural Punjab. Study was conducted in three socio-cultural zones of Punjab i.e. Majha, Malwa and Doaba. Proportionate random sampling technique was used to select the districts from each zone. Therefore, a total of eleven districts i.e. seven from Malwa, two from Majha and two from Doaba were covered under the study. The total sample for the study was 440 and it constituted 264 beneficiaries, 66 functionaries and 110 community leaders. Four health programme of National Health Mission was selected on the recommendation of the advisory committee. A self structured interview schedule was prepared to collect the data from beneficiaries and community leaders. Knowledge test was also constructed to test the knowledge of the functionaries about selected programmes. Results revealed that majority of the beneficiaries had medium level of awareness about all the selected programmes of National Rural Health Mission except T.B. Control Programme while community leaders of all the zones were least aware about all the selected programmes of National Rural Health Mission. Most of the functionaries had high level of knowledge about all the selected programmes of National Rural Health Mission. National Rural Health Mission had a great impact on health infrastructure, maternal mortality rate and infant mortality rate while after implementation of NRHM adoption of immunization practices, birth control methods and institutional deliveries has increased. Delay in medicine supply, lack of male health workers were the major problems faced by beneficiaries while functionaries’ major problems were inadequate sitting arrangement in the sub centres, incomplete medicine kit, heavy work load and insufficient incentives.
