Challenges of the district : Our research with local communities
In Madhya Pradesh, Balaghat has the poorest health infrastructure. In villages there are no good doctors. We need to go to cities to get treated. Government should provide good health facilities. In cities the condition is better, but we need some improvement in villages also.
Nutrition is another issue government needs to look at. Children are malnutritioned.
Awareness is the only way through which Balaghat can progress. With the help of NGOs government should implement some policies and help this district develop

Brief About Balaghat District
District Balaghat looks like a flying bird and is situated in southern part of Jabalpur division.  It occupies the south eastern region of the Satpura and Upper Wainganga Valley.  The district spans  over a degree from  21.19'  to  22.24' North  and  79.31 to 81.3' East.   The total area  of  the  district is 9245 Sq. Km. District Balaghat is  bounded  by  Rajnandgaon  in  the East, Seoni in the West,  District Mandla in the North  and  District Bhandara  of  Maharashtra State  in  the south.  The Wainganga River separates the district from Seoni while the rivers Bawanthadi and Bagh define the inter-state boundary.

Balaghat District was constituted during the years 1967-73 by amalgamation of parts of the Bhandara, Mandla and Seoni districts. The headquarter of the district was originally called "Burha"  or  "Boora". Later, however, this name fell into disuse and was replaced  by "Balaghat",   which  was  originally the name of the district only. The Wainganga is the most important river of the district.

The district is well connected by Bus, directly with important places such as Bhopal, Nagpur, Gondia, Jabalpur, Raipur etc.  The District Headquarter  is  situated  on Narrow gauge line of Jabalpur-Gondia section of South-Eastern Railway.  The  nearest  Broadgauge Railway  station   is  Gondia. The nearest Airport is at  Nagpur.
