The 'Swasthya Raksha Programme' was launched by the Ministry AYUSH with the aim to promote health and health education in villages. The programme is linked with ' Swaccha Bharat Mission' the flagship programme of the Government of India. The purpose of Swasthya Raksha Programme is not only to collect vital statistical data of population of the selected area through health survey but also to educate people about importance of cleanliness, sanitation and hygiene. Therefore, CCRAS decided to implement this programme by extending health care services along with survey. A special team was constituted for educating people about sanitation & hygiene and convincing them to provide the data and assessment of health status.
The 'Technical Report' is expected to be of immense benefit for the young scientists to understand the health statistics and ground reality of the people of these areas. This will also help to know the disease prevalence of selected areas of Ahmedabad District and to make suitable planning for its population.
