Author(s) Ms. Sikha Rani Das
Country India
Abstract Health policies for women are critical frameworks designed to address the unique health needs of women throughout their life stages, from reproductive health to aging-related issues. Women from low economic background areas are guaranteed schemes under ICDS like Poshan Abhiyan, Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY), Majoni scheme etc. In the present study it will be argued that despite various governmental efforts, and implementation of such
Schemes, women in rural areas often face significant barriers to accessing essential health services. This study will evaluate the accessibility of health policies for women especially focusing on pregnant and lactating mothers in the riverine (Char) areas of Barpeta district which falls under rural areas of Assam. This research will utilize qualitative approach with in-depth interview in the analysis of policy reach and effectiveness within the community. The study aims to examine the current state of health services for women in rural areas of Assam and identify disparities in the accessibility and quality of these services. The research aims to offer valuable insights into the challenges of policy accessibility in rural settings, contributing to the broader field of public health
and gender studies. It also aims to evaluate the effectiveness of existing health and education policies in addressing the specific needs of women and recommend policy modifications to improve accessibility and service quality for them. .
