However, under National Health Mission (NHM), financial and technical support is provided to States/UTs to strengthen their healthcare systems, based on the requirements posed by them within their overall resource envelope. Under National Health Mission (NHM), proposals are received from all States/ UTs in the form of Programme Implementation Plans (PIPs). The PIPs are approved in the National Program Coordination Committee (NPCC) meetings and Record of Proceedings (RoPs) is drawn. The PIPs submitted by the State Government of Maharashtra for the last three years i.e FY 2016-17 to 2018-19 under NHM are available at https://nhm.gov.in/index4.php?lang=1&level=0&linkid=55&lid=68.
