The Government of India has hailed the state government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for taking several pathbreaking initiatives to provide quality healthcare facilities to people in Punjab. The GoI regularly monitors the progress of National Health Mission in the states through different mechanisms.
The most important mechanism is Common Review Mission (CRM) undertaken every year. Under the CRM, a team comprising government officials, public health experts, representative of development partners and civil society organisations undertake field visits in different states.
