Notably, the Gujarat Pavitra Yatradham Vikas Board, in collaboration with the Narmada district administration, has established several temporary facilities along the Panchkoshi Parikrama route for the convenience and comfort of pilgrims and devotees, read the statement further.

The Narmada Uttarvahini Panchkoshi Parikrama passes through key ghats, including Sherav Ghat, Rengan Ghat, Rampura Ghat, and Tilakwada Ghat.

At these locations, arrangements such as boat jetties, domes, fans, lighting, barricades, changing rooms, CCTV cameras, seating for senior citizens, drinking water, and other essential amenities have been made available.

On April 6, a statement from the Chief Minister's office said that with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mantra "Swasth Bharat, Samriddh Bharat", the Gujarat Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, has ensured that every mother and child in the state receives quality healthcare services right from the start of life, in alignment with the World Health Day 2025 theme, "Healthy Start, Hopeful Future."

The theme focuses on maternal and newborn health, aiming to empower women's rights and increase maternal and neonatal care investments. In this direction, the Gujarat Government has taken several innovative and impactful initiatives, establishing itself as a national maternal and child health leader.

Through its focused efforts to improve maternal health, the Gujarat government has achieved a remarkable 50 percent reduction in the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR). Gujarat's MMR, which stood at 112 during 2011-13, has dropped to 57, according to data released in 2020.

Did the Parikrama last year and it was a wonderful experience. Happy to hear about the upgraded facilities - the boat jetties were much needed! Hope they maintain cleanliness throughout the route too.

While I appreciate the focus on pilgrim facilities, I hope equal attention is given to environmental protection of Narmada river. These events generate a lot of waste - would love to hear about sustainability measures.

The healthcare achievements are remarkable! 50% reduction in MMR is no small feat. Gujarat's model should be studied by other states. Kudos to the health department and ASHA workers who made this possible.
