In 1997, the ‘Ministry of Health and Family Welfare’, Government of India invited TSRD to join their RCH programme. The Government also selected TSRD as MNGO.
As TSRD is an implementing organization, it was decided to work directly through its 10 own project units across Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal. Thus, TSRD started the RCH (Innovative) Programme in 1999, as the only NGO in eastern India to work under the Innovative Programme.
As an outcome of the 2001-2002 evaluation of TSRD 's RCH by a Central Government team, the Central Government sanctioned the RCH -1 Re-modified Innovative Programme in 2003 with a outlay of nearly Rupees two crores for a period of 5 years. This project was completed on 28th February, 2006.
The main focus of the Innovative RCH-1 programme were Improvement of IEC and Inter- Personal Communication, Strengthening linkages with the Govt. health facility providers and empowerment of Peoples’ Organizations, especially women. |
