This paper deals with the emerging pattern of diseases in Punjab. Punjab’s growth story has been largely around agriculture. After the advent of the green revolution in Punjab agriculture, there has emerged multifaceted undesirable results. One of these undesirable results is the state’s environment and ecology degradation, which, in turn, influenced the pattern of diseases in the state. Rising urbanization, abating industrial pollution, growing slums, aging population, etc. also posed serious health hazards and challenges that adversely affected people’s health. Therefore, now the state has been facing a major challenge from the new emerging pattern of diseases. This study examines the emerging pattern of diseases in the state. The Study is based on various National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) reports (1973/74 to 2014/15). The perspective of the main finding of the study shows that Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) began to dominate such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular and accident/injuries compared to the earlier dominance of infectious diseases. It is necessary to understand and even predict the pattern of diseases and dynamics of health transition so that multi-state level actions can be taken to protect and promote the health of the population.
