Program Monitoring Report of Chattisgarh District Narayanpur First Quarter 2013-14 (April – June 2013) By National Health Systems Resource Center Executive Summary The report is based on monitoring visit to Narayanpur district of Chhattisgarh in June 2013. A) Introduction: The first quarter (2013-14) visit in Chhattisgarh covered Narayanpur district. Narayanpur is one of the least developed district of India and of Chattisgarh. The district borders Chattisgarh and Maharashtra. In the past, Narayanpur was part of the larger Bastar district of erstwhile Madhya Pradesh and later Chattisgarh. Almost 5 / 6 th of the district is the Abujhmarh, which is an extremely densely forested, hilly area. It remain the only unsurveyed area of India. Currently, Abujhmarh is the stronghold of the Left Wing Extremist groups. Narayanpur is tribal dominated, with Gond, Madia and Bada Madia being the scheduled and primitive tribe. Abujhmarh is almost a sanctuary of the Madia tribe without any access to roads, schools and health services. Parts of Abujhmarh are accessible by roads, but invariably after a certain point roads disappear. The only way of commuting is on foot, or vehicle like Tractor. It is crucial to note that Narayanpur being one of the most heavily affected districts due to LWE. Health, ICDS and school education are probably the only 3 programs signifying the existence of Government in the district, especially, in the affected area (which is the majority of the district). B) Analysis of overall indicators of Narayanpur: 1) Availability of data: Lack of reliable data in general, and especially from the Abujhmarh part of the district is a key problem.
