The Indian government launched the Accredited Social Health Worker Activist (ASHA) program in 2005 as a flagship initiative under the National Health Rural Mission (NHRM). Over ten million ASHA employees have been employed in various Indian states. One of the NHRM's most significant initiatives in the future has been ASHA. A woman in the community is chosen as an ASHA employee and given the necessary training to oversee the improvement of the health of the residents in her immediate area. The paper is based on the following objectives. To understand the Role of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) in Promoting Women and Child Health, and to examine the Role of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) in Promoting Women and Child Health in Rural Communities. The study about the role of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) in improving health needs is both analytical and descriptive. The paper is based on the engulfment of objectives. It is prepared with a secondary source.

ASHAs occasionally collaborate with Anganwadi workers to raise awareness of health issues and inspire people, particularly women, about their shared struggles.
