The challenges in maternal health in India are multifaceted and include both medical and socio economic factors. Despite remarkable progress in reducing maternal deaths, an estimated 47,000 mothers still die every year due to causes related to pregnancy, childbirth, and the post partum period. Major medical causes of these deaths include hemorrhage, sepsis, abortion, hypertensive disorders, obstructed labor, and other causes, including anemia. Socio-economic and cultural determinants such as illiteracy, low socio-economic status, early age of marriage, low women's empowerment, and traditional preference for home deliveries contribute to these challenges.

Awareness sessions on government schemes around maternal and child health like Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakaram (JSSK) and discussion on importance of nutrition, and family planning services is also done in our program. Further issues related to fertility, sexuality and knowledge on health contraceptive behaviour is also discussed. Further engaging males/partners of married women to discuss the topic of family size, sharing equal load at home and supporting their partners in family planning decision making is critical in our program. About 150 women and 69 men participated in the program.
