Arogyamitra For Human Development Mission and NRHM

The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) launched in 2005 has an important component of ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist). YCMOU prepared the very first programme to support ASHA in the state. This 16 CP programme—Arogyamitra- is popular in the voluntary sector and now the Maharashtra Human Development Mission has also taken up this programme for 2000 ASHAs in its 25 backward blocks.

Famous quotes containing the words human, development and/or mission:

    It is visible then that it was not any Heathen Religion or other Idolatrous Superstition, that first put Man upon crossing his Appetites and subduing his dearest Inclinations, but the skilful Management of wary Politicians; and the nearer we search into human Nature, the more we shall be convinced, that the Moral Virtues are the Political Offspring which Flattery begot upon Pride.
    Bernard De Mandeville (1670–1733)

    On fields all drenched with blood he made his record in war, abstained from lawless violence when left on the plantation, and received his freedom in peace with moderation. But he holds in this Republic the position of an alien race among a people impatient of a rival. And in the eyes of some it seems that no valor redeems him, no social advancement nor individual development wipes off the ban which clings to him.
    Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)

    Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.
    Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
