Currently it focuses on 36 states of India in various health aspects. Newborn and adolescent health care are the major and important areas to be concentrated for the well-being of whole life. The well-being of whole life starts with the health of the mother during her maternal period.

National Health Mission makes a valid attempt to protect, safeguard and develop the health of women who are in maternal period, the health of newborn children and adolescents. The current research paper focuses on the influence of National Health Mission over maternal, newborn and adolescent health care.
