health policies, marginalized, government, healthcare facilitiesAbstract
India is a country with a vast population and one can find different categories of people. In it, one important segment of people which exist is the marginalized section. These are those people who are deprived of basic healthcare facilities and needs. They have to undergo worse situations at times. But for their well-being and upliftment, the government of India has come up with different health policies which improve their health conditions and help them attain easy survival. However, these policies are just stated and their implications cannot be seen in every place where marginalized people exist. So this paper throws light on the plight of marginalized sections and the implications of healthcare policies for them which are created by the government
