Considering the requirement of ANMs in the State, State needs to augment its
training capacity. It is proposed that ANM training school will be created in all the
districts of the State, for this 21 new training centers will be created. The existing 27
training institutions also need strengthening in terms of repair / renovation, extension,
training equipments, furniture and other basic amenities. Each ANM Training School
will be provided with mobility support for transporting trainees to the attached hospital
and community for training purpose.

partnership. Upto 10 ANM training schools will be supported for three consecutive
batches of ANM training.
