Considering its importance to the socio-economic development of the state, the Government will monitor the performance of the Reproductive and Child Health Programme at the state level. This monthly monitoring, by the Chief Secretary, would be done for each district, for indicators relating to family planning, child immunization, and antenatal care. Regions, divisions, and districts would be graded on an objective point scale, and feedback provided to them. Districts and officers showing good performance will be recognized. The performance of each district would be evaluated biannually with the help of a survey. All panchayats will be encouraged to keep a Population Information Display Board in a prominent place that contains information on population size, the number of births and deaths and other vital events in the panchayat area.
