Welcome to the Official Website of NARCHI

NARCHI, or the National Association for Reproductive and Child Health of India, is a prominent non-governmental organisation founded in 1975 by the late Professor Dr. C. S Dawn. Spanning 30 branches across India, our core mission revolves around enhancing reproductive and child health (RCH) and maternal and child care (MCC) through avenues of education, training, and evaluation.

Our Academic Wing: The Dr. CS Dawn Indian College of Maternal and Child Health (ICMCH)

The Dr. CS Dawn Indian College of Maternal and Child Health (ICMCH) forms our academic cornerstone, committed to delivering exhaustive RCH and MCC training to medical graduates. Aligned with the World Health Organization (WHO) in promoting RCH, NARCHI plays a pivotal role in developing and deploying programs for our PNMCH wing, elevating our educational impact.

Collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare

In our collaborative efforts with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, and the National Institute of Health and Family Welfare (NIHFW), we partake in a multitude of programs advocating for RCH and MCC across the nation. Our active involvement also extends to the Public Health Education Research Consortium Programme (PHERC).
