New Delhi, September 2025 – This September, India is set to witness a main health campaign that could change the way healthcare facilities for women and children. On September 17, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will begin a special campaign known as “Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan”, an initiative improved to support maternal and child healthcare all over the country.
The occasion is important—it starts on the Prime Minister’s 75th birthday and lasts till October 2, on Gandhi Jayanti, representatively linking leadership and service to the nation.
What’s the Campaign All About?
The idea behind this campaign is simple yet powerful: healthy women mean healthier families, and healthy families lead to a stronger nation.
Here’s what you can expect:
- 75,000 Health Camps 🚑
These camps will be organised across Ayushman Arogya Mandirs and Community Health Centres. They’ll provide essential checkups, screenings, and services for women and children. - Nutrition Focus through “Poshan Maah” 🥗
September is already celebrated as Poshan Maah in Anganwadi, and this campaign will give it an extra push. Expect nutrition awareness drives, diet counselling, and child growth monitoring activities. - Community Participation (Jan Bhagidaari) 👩👩👧
The government wants this to be a people’s campaign, not just a government programme. Private hospitals, NGOs, and local health workers are expected to join hands and make it a collaborative movement.
Why This Matters
India has grown so much in healthcare sector, but the challenges never vanish—particularly in rural and underserved and backward areas. Many women still struggling and fighting with these issues like anaemia, malnutrition, or absence of access to prenatal and postnatal care, there are still some villages were common health care is still not available. Children, too, face health risks issues from undernutrition, delayed immunisations, and lack of early screening.
This campaign is designed to fill some of those gaps by bringing healthcare closer to the community.
Things to Watch
As the campaign rolls out, a few key things will decide its success:
- Will the health camps reach remote areas, or remain limited to towns?
- How many women and children will actually benefit from these services?
- Will there be follow-up care, or will it end with the campaign on October 2?
- Can this spark long-term behavioural changes around nutrition, wellness, and preventive healthcare?
Final Thoughts
The Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan is way more than just another government scheme—it’s a message that healthcare is not only about hospitals and medicines. It’s about awareness, accessibility, convienient and making sure that no woman or child is left behind.
If executed well, this could be the beginning of a healthier future for millions of families in India.
