The project made significant impact on the health and economic status of the communities. Communities are aware of their health needs through the continuous follow up of their village health plan. Panchayats, village health and sanitation committees, and women's health committees utilize their allocated funds to address the health issues of the village.  This has helped in achieving complete immunization of children and in more number of pregnant mothers availing institutional facilities for delivering babies.

Groups are now engaged in income generating programs and agricultural farming which has increased their income levels. 79 acres of land was irrigated throughout the year and 24000 trees planted for cocoon production. 85 women received vocational skills training. 1170 self help groups and 11 women from poor families earned an income of Rs 30-50 per day through income generation programs. All this has resulted in improved life style, evident through increase in school attendance & better social indicators.

Groups are taking efforts to solve problems that obstruct the progress of their work, and to handle corruption in the implementation of development schemes. The community has developed information centres for grass root level advocacy. 45 adolescents were trained on health issues to promote grass root level advocacy in the community. Members from 40 panchayats were sensitized on 32 health issues. Women are empowered to fight for their right and help in the development of their village.
