Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
change in trends of maternal anemia (hemoglobin levels of greater and equal to 11 g/dl) from both intervention and non-intervention areas assessed by measuring Haemoglobin level .<br>This was measured using The Hemocue Hb 201+ System- A digital machine through which we can measure haemoglobin level within seconds. <br>[1. Four times for each pregnant woman. First reading of Hb was taken at enrolment, second reading was taken on same calendar date after three months in second trimester, similarly third reading was taken on same date after three months in third trimester and fourth reading was taken within 72 hours of delivery. <br> <br>];2. Proportion of children born with low birth weight (less than or equal to 2500g) assessed by measuring birth weight.[Measured with 72 hours after delivery ]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Proportion of pregnant women with low BMI calculated by measuring height and weight [Height was measured once at the time of enrolment and weight was measured four times for each pregnant woman. First reading was taken at enrolment, second reading was taken on same calendar date after three months in second trimester, similarly third reading was taken on same date after three months in third trimester and fourth reading was taken within 72 hours of delivery. . Weight was measured through SECA electronic weighing scale while height of enrolled pregnant women was taken through SECA stadiometer. ]
