1. Background:
At 235 million, India has the largest share of the adolescent population in the world. With the view to address the health and development needs of this age group which constitutes 21 percent of India's population, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) launched the Rashtriya Kishor Swasthya Karyakram (RKSK) for holistic improvement of adolescent health and wellbeing. RKSK has been developed to strengthen the adolescent component of the Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn & Child Health plus Adolescents (RMNCH+A) strategy. The programme expands the scope of adolescent health programming in India - from being limited to sexual and reproductive health, it now includes in its ambit nutrition, injuries (including road accidents) and violence (including gender-based violence), non-communicable diseases, mental health and substance misuse.
The Lancet Commission report titled, “Our Future” had identified ‘adolescence’ as a “critical phase in life for achieving human potential” and concluded by recommending that only substantial investments in improving adolescent health and wellbeing would aid in India’s progress towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030.
