Enumerating the success of Jan Andolan (people’s movement) in health by citing the example of Ni-akshay Mitra among others, he said, “Community engagement will contribute significantly in garnering success in this mission by the involvement of all stakeholders starting from the grassroots levels.”
Underscoring the wide reach of a mass movement, the Minister said, “Incorporating awareness generation and ensuring communication campaigns at villages, panchayats will galvanize the movement leading to wide reach across the nation.”
