Abstract:- After years of fight against Malaria-a major public health problem, various states of India have started achieving success in controlling & preventing malaria transmission by implementing a broader mix of interventions. This observational secondary data based study was undertaken to assess the success achieved by District Malaria Centre, Bhopal in terms of various epidemiological surveillance parameters like API,ABER,SPR,SFR, Pf% etc. Overall a declining trend was found more or less among all epidemiological parameters which itself somehow by far reflect the quality of efforts put by district health officials and health workers. This study also demands a multicentre qualitative research in this aspect to explore what efforts and reasons have been responsible for this decline in various malariomatric parameters.
