Abstract

A healthy body holds a healthy soul & mind. This statement justifies the World Health Organization’s definition of 1948 that health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (WHO, 1948). The definition has a holistic concept. According to the great Aristotle, Man is a social animal. He needs affection & concern from the family and society as a whole. The human’s live dimensions are interconnected with each other. For instance, the physique and mental are inter associated. The poor physical health results in poor mental ability & vice versa. Above all the poor access to medial ventures is always a constraint in a country like India. To overcome from it, Government is taking keen interest by designing several schemes & programmes. ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) initiative is one of them.
