MAKING BRIEF PROJECT ON “SCHEMES FOR NEW BORN IN
NORTH EAST REGION AND MORTALITY RATE”
Arunachal Pradesh
REPRODUCTIVE CHILD HEALTH –II (RCH)
Despite the gradual improvement in health status over many years, preventable mortality and
morbidity in Arunachal Pradesh are high. The Government of Arunachal Pradesh has
launched RCH-II1 programme in the State with goals of reducing IMR.
The challenges of poverty, backwardness coupled with inadequate infrastructure have to be
tackled in the State so as to improve delivery of health care. The programme includes
prevention, care and support, research on cost effective prevention strategies, training of
medical professionals and community key stakeholders.
ASSAM
Its schemes are mentioned below :
RMNCH+A
Improving the maternal and child health and their survival are central to the achievement
of national health goals under the National Health Mission (NHM) 2 as well as the
Millennium Development Goals (MDG) 4 and 5. SDG Goal 3 also includes the focus on
reducing maternal, new-born and child mortality. In the past seven years, innovative
strategies evolved under the national programme to deliver evidence-based interventions
to various population groups.
A substantial increase in the availability of financial resources for Reproductive and Child
Health (RCH), healthcare infrastructure and workforce as also the expansion of
programme management capacity since the launch of NRHM in 2005 provides an
important opportunity to consolidate all our efforts. As we had crossed the 2015 year

where we have to reach the MDG goals but we are far away from the goals. There is an
opportunity to further accelerate progress towards MDG and SDG goals, redefine the
national agenda to come up with a coordinated approach to maternal and child health in
the upcoming years.
In order to bring greater impact through the RCH programme, it is important to recognize
that reproductive, maternal and child health cannot be addressed in isolation as these are
closely linked to the health status of the population in various stages of life cycle. The
health of an adolescent girl impacts pregnancy while the health of a pregnant woman
impacts the health of the new born and the child. As such, interventions may be required
at various stages of life cycle, which should be mutually linked. And hence, on the basis of
available data and the close inter-linkages between different stages of life cycle RMNCH+A
strategy is introduced. It constitutes to the 'Continuum of Care' approach of defining and
implementing evidence-based packages of services for different stages of the lifecycle, at
various levels in the health system, has been adopted under the national health
programme. This strategic approach includes Reproductive, Maternal, Newbern, Child Plus
Adolescent Health (RMNCH+A). The 'Plus' in the strategic approach denotes the (1)
inclusion of adolescence as a distinct 'life stage' in the overall strategy; (2) linking of
maternal and child health to reproductive health and other components (like family
planning, adolescent health, HIV, gender and Preconception and Prenatal Diagnostic
Techniques (PC&PNDT); and (3) linking of community and facility-based care as well as
referrals between various levels of health care system to create a continuous care
pathway, and to bring an additive /synergistic effect in terms of overall outcomes and
impact.

Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA)
Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan envisages to improve the quality and coverage
of Antenatal Care (ANC) 3, Diagnostics and Counselling services as part of the Reproductive
Maternal Neonatal Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCH+A) Strategy. After extensive
deliberations with National experts, it has been suggested that PMSMA will be held on 9th
of every month, wherein all the essential maternal health services will be provided at
identified public health facilities (as per the level of facility and guidelines mentioned in
MNH Toolkit) as well as accredited private clinics and institutions volunteering for the
Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan. Essentially, these services will be provided by
the Medical Officer and /OBGY specialist. Facilities where such trained manpower is not
available, services from Private Practitioners (OBGY) on voluntary basis are to be arranged.
PMSMA will help in providing quality ANC& also detection, referral, treatment and follow-up
of high risk pregnancies and women having complications. During this campaign, trained
service providers and ASHA will focus their efforts to identify and reach out to pregnant
women who have not registered for ANC (left out/missed ANC) and also those who have
registered but not availed ANC services (dropout) as well as High Risk pregnant women. It
will also be ensured that not only all pregnant women complete their scheduled ANC visits
but also undertake all essential investigation. While 9th of every month will be organized as
a special day, it is reiterated that the existing, routine and planned services such as ANC,
PNC etc. will continue to be delivered at all the facilities as scheduled in their respective
micro-plans. One of the key focus areas during Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan
(PMSMA)is to generate demand through Information Education & Communication (IEC),
Inter-personal Communication(IPC)and Behaviour Change Communication(BCC) activities.
Extensive use of audio-visual and print media in raising mass awareness will 6 be an integral
part of IEC/BCC campaign. Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM), ASHA and Anganwadi Worker
(AWW) would play a pivotal role in mobilization of the community and potential
beneficiaries in both rural and urban areas for availing of services during the PMSMA.

Integrated Child Protection Scheme
The Govt. of India, Ministry of Women & Child Development has formulated a new Centrally
Sponsored Scheme – “Integrated Child Protection Scheme” (ICPS) 5 with the objective to
provide a safe and secure environment to the children in the country who are in need of
care and protection as well as children in conflict with law. The intervention includes, inter-
alia, financial support for setting up and / or maintenance of Homes for children in need of
care and protection and those in conflict with law, setting up of child protection structure –
state child protection society, capacity building, advocacy etc.
Objectives:
14 | P a g e
e) To ensure appropriate inter-sectoral response at all levels.
Health & Family Welfare Programme started in India in 1951, with the National Family
Planning Programme. The Family Planning Programme focused mainly on terminal methods
with a view to control over population growth. As a result, it received set back owing to rigid
implementation of target-based approach. The experiences gained throughout the country
revealed that improvement of the health of women in the reproductive age group and
children (up to 5 years) is of crucial importance to reduce the problem of population
growth. This realization led to change in the approach from Family Planning to Family
Welfare. Since the 7th Plan implemented during 1984 – 89, the Family Welfare programme
have evolved on the health needs of mothers and children, as well as on providing
contraceptives and spacing services to the targeted group. The main objective of Family
Welfare programme has been to stabilize the population at level of the need of the
country’s development.
Since the Schemes which had been implemented during RCH I were mostly concerned with
rural health, the GoI has approved Urban Health Project for Aizawl and Lunglei towns since
January 2004. Consequently, Other District capitals are also to take up under Urban health
project for which proposals have already been submitted to Government of India.
RCH I has technically ended on 31st March 2004. The Government of India has however
15 | P a g e
extended one year Interim period for preparation of project implementation plan (PIP) for
RCH II. Since there have been improvements in the areas of services provided to some
extent during RCH I, the Government of India decided to continue RCH phase II so that the
targeted group may get better health at maximum level.

mother’s years of schooling. As expected, the rate decreases with an increase in household
wealth.
Birth Weight
Birth weight is the weight of the child at the time of birth. It is a measure of the new-born’s
health. The benchmark weight is 2.5 kilograms or above which is considered healthy. It is
also a measure of the mother’s health. Since new-borns will be weighed when they are born
in institutional settings – hospitals or other health centres - the state wide records will
depend on state-wide institutional deliveries.
Overall birth weight in the Northeast tends to be higher than the Indian average. This
includes Assam even though the infant mortality rate as well as the under five mortality rate
inn Assam is higher than the Indian average.
Institutional Deliveries
Institutional deliveries indicate the access to neonatal as well as post natal health care.
Except for Mizoram, Sikkim, and Tripura, share of institutional deliveries in other states was
less than the Indian average. That Assam also had a lower percentage of deliveries in a
health facility, may explain the higher infant mortality as well as under five mortality rate.
Arunachal Pradesh on the other hand had fewer institutional deliveries than Assam, and at
the same time had a lower infant mortality rate as well as a lower under five mortality rate.
Deliveries, Ante and Post Natal Care
While Mizoram and Sikkim had a higher percentage of deliveries by a Skilled Healthcare
Provider compared to the Indian average, no state had a percentage of children receiving
postnatal care higher than the Indian average. However, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram and
Sikkim had higher levels of antenatal care than the Indian average. The explanation for
lower levels of postnatal care provided by healthcare providers may lie in the fact that
traditional forms of neonatal care are still preferred over those provided by healthcare
professionals.

MAKING BRIEF PROJECT ON “HEALTH SCHEMES IN
DIFFERENT STATES OF INDIA”
Under this given project we were assigned to mention about various health
schemes prevalent in different states for children welfare all over India . There
were some schemes which was centrally sponsored while some schemes were
governed under state government . Since the schemes mentioned in the given
project was of each states in India so it is very difficult to attach the enclosure of
it in this report but the whole project has already been sent on the mail.
I was also assigned to make calls in different offices regarding the update of the
cases in the hand of NCPCR . During this process I gained the knowledge
regarding how government offices works and got the chance to enhance my
eloquence during the process.

FIELD VISIT (RESCUE OF CHILDERN WHO ARE
INVOLVED IN LABOUR AND BEGGING)
NCPCR took an initiative to rescue the children who were trapped under the vicious circle of
begging and child trafficking within one kilometre of Chanderlok building (NCPCR office ).
The process began very systematically beginning with recci which was allotted group wise to
the interns . I was allotted the area of jantar mantar and masjid market for survey which was
conducted twice to re check the status of children and make sure that no stone remains
unturned . Later I also took part in rescue mission of children which was held on 10th of June
at the same place where we were sent of survey. We were accompanied by 4 police
personnel and office members along with 4 interns and were sent to places allotted
respectively . The whole experience was thrilling . For the very first time we were part of a
raid and also saw the conditions of street children and the resistance was also seen among
those children. Over all the experience and exposure was commendable .
19 | P a g e
CONCLUSION
This internship has given me the ability to believe that I could achieve my lifelong goal of
making a change and it has moulded me into the type of individual who cares strongly about
her surroundings and wants to make an impact in the society in positive way. I am sure this
progress will be visible and helpful in my every day’s life. This internship has really increase
my ability to research more deeply, it has also enhanced the ability to think more critically in
different situation . This internship gave me the exposure of raids and acknowledgement of
how children on the streets survive and are trapped in vicious cycle . The supervisors were
helpful and the office had congenial environment. The internship experience at NCPCR was
commendable and helpful for my coming future .
