ABSTRACT
National programmes in the field of Health, Family Planning and Nutrition have been in operation in the country for many years. In general, these programme are being run almost independently of each other by staff recruited under each programme. Since the Health, Family Planning and Nutrition programmes are proposed to be delivered through health auxiliaries and other workers based at primary health centers and sub-centres, the buildings will serve a common purpose. The Steering Group feels that the proper integration of Health, Family Planning and Nutrition programme is highly desirable as it would be more economical and effective. In Wardha an integrated scheme of malaria eradication and smallpox programmes was started in 1966 with the final aim of having a basic health worker for all health programmes. Many health administrators have felt that the present staff of the Primary health centers and sub-centres cannot adequately deal with the health and family planning requirements of the population involved.
