As an independent nation we embarked on a journey at the time of our independence and it has been sixty years since then. Our aspirations had been to overcome many obstacles some of which we have been successful in and others partly. We still have to overcome some basic obstacles such as the health of the nation.

It deals with inter-linkages between health, poverty and underdevelopment. The scope of the study though is limited to the region of Uttar Pradesh, a federal entity of Indian nation holding the dubious distinction of having the highest population after China, Indonesia, United States of America, Brazil and rest of India.

Other aspects of health mentioned under various topics, headings and chapters are also analyzed in the course of this study.
