Functional PHCs, water quality we measure, telemedicine where it helps.
The problem
Hardoi is one of India's 250 most backward districts (since2006). A peer-reviewed BMC study on Hardoi's Village Health and Nutrition Days (VHNDs) found "health education and promotion were particularly weak; institutional delivery was the only topic discussed in a majority of VHNDs." Maternal and child health outcomes lag the state average. Many habitations are not on the Jal Jeevan network; groundwater quality is unmonitored at habitation scale.
2027 — 100 days & first year
- Functional PHC + 24×7 ambulance in each of 3 blocks
- Water-quality testing of all handpumps/borewells (baseline)
- Telemedicine kiosk in 1 PHC, evaluated for rollout
- Maternal-health audit: zero preventable maternal deaths
2030 — end of first term
- 1 CHC upgraded to IPHS (Indian Public Health Standards)
- 100% institutional delivery (vs Hardoi district baseline)
- Jal Jeevan Mission target met in all villages
- Outpatient load at PHCs doubled
How we'll know it worked
Zero preventable maternal mortality. PHCs at IPHS standards. Jal Jeevan target met.
