According to the Health Ministry, the drive focused on nutrition, early health screening, and awareness among women, adolescent girls, and children. It also promoted holistic family well-being and preventive care.
Over 19.7 lakh health camps were organised across India during the campaign, drawing participation from over 11 crore people across all districts — a mobilisation that earned global recognition.
The Guinness World Records acknowledged India’s achievement as the largest women’s health awareness and screening campaign ever held worldwide.
“This record-breaking accomplishment is a proud stride towards a Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar, and Viksit Bharat. Women’s empowerment is the foundation of a healthier, stronger India,” Nadda added.
The ministry described the initiative as a landmark in community-driven healthcare, reflecting the government’s commitment to inclusive and accessible medical outreach.
By merging awareness, screening, and nutrition programmes, the campaign underscored the idea that a Healthy Woman (Swasth Nari) is the key to an Empowered Family (Sashakt Parivar) — and ultimately, a Developed India (Viksit Bharat).
