Secondary data analysis was conducted for the financial year of 2015-2016. Results: At district level NCD cell, all the sanctioned post were filled. However, overall in the district 60.7% posts were vacant. Infrastructure at all levels of NPCDCS were adequately present. In financial year of 2015-16, total of 257 screening camps were organized. Total of 90399 people were screened during the camps and in OPD. Prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in Gandhinagar district in year 2015-16 were 9.9% and 9.1% respectively as per NPCDCS programme. Compliance among hypertensive patients was 72% and among diabetic was 70%. Conclusion: Human resources are adequately available at district level, but they are grossly lacking at sub-district level, which is the reason for poor outreach activities and OPD activities at sub-district level.
