Brief Summary   Women are prone to become anemic during pregnancy . Hence, increase dietary intake of iron and oral iron supplements are recommended. Despite free oral iron supplements provided by the Govt of India, rates of anemia in Indian pregnant women is alarmingly high. Compliance to medication may be an issue, but other factors such as cultural and social beliefs, access to iron rich food sources. other micronutrient deficiencies, and inequalities to sharing and access to food in household are other significant factors why pregnant women remain anemic. It is important to prevent anemia in pregnancy as anemic women are more likely to die in pregnancy and give birth to low birth weight babies.
 In this study we will test the effectiveness of a household counselling intervention with tailored iron supplementation ( prophylactic or therapeutic dose depending on Hb levels as per Govt of India guidelines) and nutrition focussed participatory learning on improved dietary practices and reducing incidence of anemia in pregnancy, in rural India. The intervention will be delivered by community health workers. Counselling of pregnant women and their households (including men) supported by nutrition focussed groups in community will empower households to adopt dietary practices that enable real nutrional imprpvements.
