3. Challenges Suggestions for change Most villages have shown disinterestedness towards the call for VHSNC meetings or for any other meetings in the village. Reason: they say that all the meetings were the same with lots of question, promises made but no changes or action taken Create more ownership and people centric programmesby both NGOs and Government Fear of militants operating in the villages For militancy issue some of the government official are difficult to meet. The government administration must take stringent measures to end militancy  T he far distances of villages, no network connectivity & no road connection make more difficult for the CM team to progress faster. Communication with PWD is of utmost importance to connect people to PHCs and team of CAH to required villages

4. F INDINGS No MHIS card in most villages. ASHA’s needed salary. No Water in all sub-centre & PHC Some villages are still practicing unsafe toilets Many villages have no public transport connecting them due to poor condition of the road.
