- <p><span lang="EN-US">This study examines the impact of the National Health Mission (NRHM) on public health outcomes in India by comparing the pre-NRHM (1991–2004) and post-NRHM (2005–2024) periods. The main objective is to evaluate whether the implementation of NRHM has significantly improved key health indicators and health care expenditure in the country. The study adopts a descriptive and analytical research design using secondary time-series data, and employs statistical tools such as trend analysis, compound annual growth rate (CAGR), and comparative analysis. To assess the policy impact, a dummy variable regression model is applied, where the pre-NRHM period is coded as 0 and the post-NRHM period as 1, along with control variables like GDP, population growth, and labor force participation. The findings reveal substantial improvements in health outcomes during the post-NRHM period, including a sharp decline in maternal mortality, a significant increase in life expectancy, and a steady reduction in birth rates, alongside a remarkable rise in total health care expenditure. The regression results further confirm that these changes are statistically significant, indicating a strong positive association between NRHM implementation and improved health indicators. The study concludes that NRHM has played a transformative role in strengthening India’s public health system and improving population health, although sustained investment, efficient resource utilization, and targeted policy interventions remain essential for maintaining and enhancing these achievements.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">The study concludes that NRHM has been highly effective in enhancing public health outcomes and strengthening health infrastructure in India.
