The state Resource Centre for ASHAs was set up in Don Bosco Institute on February 21, 2009 by a Memorandum of Understanding signed between Don Bosco Institute and the National Rural Health Mission under the Govt. of Assam. A district community mobilizer and a data assistant are placed in each district of the state. The main focus is to train 2900 ASHA facilitators and through them to train 29000 ASHAs spread across the 27 districts of the state in order to provide quality health service.
The aim of SARC will be to motivate the ASHAs and ASHA Facilitators and equip them with technical and non technical skills to bring quality health services to the remote and inaccessible rural areas. It will be involved in the training and capacity building of these grass root level workers to enable them to bring about changes in the health scenario of the state.
