Abstract

A long back i.e. in 1953 the NMCP was launched, with many major mile stones in the programme, reframed last in year 2003 as NVBDCP & convergence under NRHM in 2005. Still we are facing the problems of morbidity as well as mortality from malaria. For reduction of so there must be well functioning health system as prescribed in NVBDCP. All defined targets must be fulfilled for better functioning of health care services and it would thus reduce malarial burden. A cross sectional study was conducted in selected PHC from each Taluka by simple random sampling.   Data of the last five year shows that surveillance activity was improved over time. Mean API was reduced during last four years with highest mean API of 1.63 in the year 2010 to lowest (0.57) in the year 2013.Due to geographic location and migration of agricultural labourers, some PHCs were still strives to lower their API.

Key words: Malariometric Indices, PHC, Evaluation
