Annual Health
Survey (2010-11) was conducted in 284 districts in nine states – Uttar Pradesh,
Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, Chhattisgarh
and Assam, and these states comprise of 48 percent of India’s population i.e.
almost half of India was covered. This part of India was covered as in this
part of India the most of the health indicators are believed to be at low ebb
and high focus has been rendered in the National Rural Health Mission
implemented by the Government. The data
has been collected for three years (2007-09) from the mentioned nine states.
Let us compare
the full immunization (%) undertaken for these nine
states during 2005-06 (NFHS-3), 2007-08 (DLHS -3) and 2007-09 (AHS, 2010-11).

As could be seen that
about 50% of India where indicators of infant and child mortality are worst
placed as compared to other parts of India, have improved quite significantly in
respect of percentage of full immunization.
Now percentage of full immunization is double for many states say,
Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh.
In respect of Rajasthan it is now over two and a half times as it was in
2005-06. It is expected that significant
increase in full immunization might have been translated into improvements in Child
mortality Ratios over the period for these states. Seeing the progress in these
nine states in respect of full immunization by adoption of Immunization
programme of Indian Government, one may easily say that the progress would also
be quite a bit in other states of India too as the Immunization programme is being implemented throughout India.
