Namaskar! My name is ________ and I am working for the IIHMR University Jaipur in collaboration with local Partners. I belong to this/nearby village.

From every enumeration area 35 households have been selected and in this extension your house is randomly selected. Though we would very much appreciate your participation in the survey, your refusal to take part in this survey will have no repercussions on you. Information provided by you would help us inform the government to better plan health services.
