One of the key components of NRHM was to appoint a trained community health activist called ‘ASHA’ in each and every village of the country. The strategy was that ASHA will be trained to work as an interface between community and the public health system. It was envisaged that ASHA should be a resident of the village preferably in the age group 25-45 years and should have education above eighth standard. Moreover, ASHA will be chosen through a rigorous process of selection involving various community groups, self-help groups, anganwadi institutions, the block nodal officer, district nodal officer, the village health committee and the gram sabha. This paper focuses on examination and study to know socio-economic characteristics of ASHA, and to study the Role and Performance of ASHAs in study area. This paper is based on complete primary level data and using simple statistical tools like average percentage charts and table. Study concludes that the role and performance of ASHAs in village level its good. Now a days in village level institutional deliveries increasing trend because of ASHAs that’s why government appoints more number of ASHA in village level and give to training before joining of ASHAs their work. It helps to serve their services in good way. And government gives incentive money in time to ASHAs. It helps to lead there family and doing works effectively. And gram panchayath leaders involve in conducting the health programmes at village level. It helps to increase the awareness about the health facilities to rural people.
