(c) to (e): Ministry of Health and Family Welfare provides technical and financial support to the States/UTs to strengthen the public healthcare delivery at public healthcare facilities. Under National Health Mission (NHM), the central government provides technical and financial support to States/UTs support based on proposals received from respective States/UTs in their Programme Implementation Plan (PIPs). The proposals are appraised in National Programme Coordination Committee (NPCC) meetings and approvals are accorded to States/ UTs in the form of Record of Proceedings (RoPs). The State PIPs are envisaged to be an aggregate of the district/city health action plans, and include activities to be carried out at the state level. The District specific RoPs are released and implemented by respective States/ UTs. Central share under NHM is released to the respective States, which in turn releases to the Districts.
