The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) was launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister on
12th April 2005, to provide accessible, affordable and quality health care to the rural
population, especially the vulnerable groups. The Union Cabinet vide its decision dated 1st
May 2013, has approved the launch of National Urban Health Mission (NUHM) as a Sub-
mission of an over-arching National Health Mission (NHM), with National Rural Health
Mission (NRHM) being the other Sub-mission of National Health Mission.

NRHM seeks to provide equitable, affordable, and quality health care to the rural population,
especially the vulnerable groups. Under the NRHM, the Empowered Action Group (EAG)
States, as well as the North Eastern States, Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, have
been given special focus. The thrust of the mission is on establishing a fully functional,
community-owned, decentralized health delivery system with inter-sectoral convergence at
all levels, to ensure simultaneous action on a wide range of determinants of health such as
water, sanitation, education, nutrition, social and gender equality. Institutional integration
within the fragmented health sector was expected to provide a focus on outcomes, measured
against Indian Public Health Standards for all health facilities.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY :

STUDY POPULATION - The Study Population or the Accessible Population is the

population in research to which thé researchers can apply their conclusions. In this particular
Research Study, the inhabitants of a rural village of the Ranchi District will be the Study
Population. The generalization of the conclusions of this Research Study will be limited to
the inhabitants of this particular village only.

SAMPLING METHOD AND SAMPLE SIZE - This Research Study will adopt Stratified
Random Sampling Method. The Study Population will be divided basically into 3 major
strata - Age, Income and Socio-Economic Status. The Sample Size will be near to 10% of the
Study Population, which will range from 50-80 Units.

RESEARCH DESIGN - Descriptive Research Design has been used in this Research Study.
In a descriptive research design, a researcher is solely interested in describing the situation or
3
case under his/her research study. It is a theory-based research design which is created by
gather, analyzes and presents collected data. By implementing an in-depth research design
such as this, a researcher can provide insights into the why and how of research

METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION - Both Primary and Secondary Data have been
collected for this Research Study. The Secondary Data has been collected from the Published
Reports of the Governments and other important Organizations. The Primary Data is
collected through Direct Field Investigation. The field investigation has been conducted with
a well designed questionnaire. A direct interview has been conducted with a person from
each sampled household of the Village. Sampled households were selected on the basis of
random sampling technique.
The present work has been accomplished with both quantitative as well as qualitative
techniques. Among the quantitative techniques, both simple and standard statistical
techniques have been applied to gather the facts. A self-constructed Interview Schedule was
framed for an individual child to get the anthropometric measurements, intellectual
development, and social development.
