the world may fall even further and even more initiative behind in their ability to
compete with the world economic power centres" (New challenge for the Public Health,
WHO 1995). The concepts of individual medical interventions have escalated but the
State of Health of the people has not improved in relation to expenditure. It has
become an important question as to how best misconception of health, growing national
debts, ravages of long-standing health problems viz. Diarrhea, Acute Respiratory
Infection, Tuberculosis, Malaria, smoking and alchohol abuse. In addition to those
diseases nor got conquered new diseases viz. HIV / AIDS and new epidemic needs to be dealt

societies present new demands to primary health".
WBVHA has devoted itself to uphold primary health with
community participation. Alike associations are organised in almost all states of India.
All State Voluntary Health Associations are federated to the national body of health
association known as Voluntary Health Association of India (VHAI), New Delhi one of
India’s largest and leading organisation working in health and development.
It is a fact that in West
Bengal, public health and Reproductive Child Health need critical overview and
practical support for change. There is need for greater work for community building,
improvement of economic condition, being in healthy condition and possess inner values
like truth, honesty, mutual respect etc. We are living in a computerised age where the
rapid pace of our life is constantly threatened by advanced technology, problem scarcity,
price escalation, population explosion, environmental pollution etc. Our present system is
full of unequal opportunities which necessarily widens the gap between have and have-nots.
In order to bring change in the socio-economic and health sphere Indian Govt. has taken
initiatives to promote the work of community development. Government has given due
importance to the role played by NGOs to strengthen the effort of Government and work in
unison. Presently NGOs are playing important role in aspiring people and working upto the
expectations of Government. NGOs need to be more systematically organised so that they can
free people from the bondage of ill health, economic deprivation and injustice.
