India: Reproductive and Child Health District Level Household Survey (DLHS-2) 2002-04

The Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) programme that has been launched by Government of India (GoI) in 1996-97 is expected to provide quality services and achieve multiple objectives. It ushered a positive paradigm shift from method-oriented, target-based activity to providing client-centred, demand-driven quality services. Also, efforts are being made to reorient provider’s attitude at grassroots level and to strengthen the services at outreach levels.
