Abstract

The importance of health and quality life in National development endeavor has been recognized from time immemorial. The issues like Public health, National development and policy governance have mesmerized contemporary politics in India. The power and prosperity, growth and development of a Nation depend on the health and quality life of its citizenry. Health may be the concern of an individual, but it is the responsibility of the State to ensure the health and wellbeing of its people. National development is concerned with developing community wellbeing of citizens, by giving medical care, good health, education, infrastructure, and other societal services. There is direct relationship between the level of public health and the velocity of National development. Higher the level of public health Higher will be the speed of progress. If sufficient consideration is not given to the people's health, the attempts of National development fail to provide expected result.
