Popis: The National Youth Service Action and Social Development Research Institute (NYSASDRI) has been implementing the Meikirch Model in 100 villages in the state of Odisha where rates of poverty, infant and maternal mortality are the highest in India. Although no formal evaluation yet exists, NYSASDRI staff have monitored 20 villages closely and associate great improvements in sanitation, malaria prevention, immunization, and nutrition with implementation of the Meikirch Model. NYSASDRI engaged in implementation with villagers and elders and with growing support of health practitioners, government officials, people’s representative, media, social activists, and functionaries of other non-governmental organizations.
