ORDER:
During the State Council meeting for S.C.S.P. and T.S.P. and
review meeting of welfare departments, the Hon’ble Chief Minister felt the need
for regular conduct of meetings at Gram Panchayat, PHC and District level, to
enable cohesive efforts of the field functionaries along with community and to
achieve the desired goals for reducing MMR, IMR and Malnutrition. The
convergence mechanism would ensure that all pregnant & lactating women and
children below 5 years avail the health and nutrition services and that there
is a close follow-up for all the high risk pregnant women and high risk
children. It was felt that such convergence efforts would help to bring about
behavioural change in the community more effectively.
2. Accordingly, the
Government has decided to institutionalise the convergence structure for
reducing MMR, IMR and Malnutrition and vide G.O. 6th read above
orders were issued constituting the convergence committees at various levels
i.e., G.P. Level, Ward Level, PHC Level,
ULB Level, District Level and State Level.
3. Later a meeting
was held on 19th January, 2015 in the chambers of Prl Secretary
to Govt , HM & FW Dept to discuss
operationalization of the G.O. 6th read above. In the said
meeting it was proposed to include more
members as part of the convergence committees at different levels.
4. Further it was felt
that it would be appropriate to identify the convergence efforts by a name
which will help to sustain the efforts.

committees at various levels as follows:-
