<strong>ABSTRACT</strong> <strong>Background: </strong>Male involvement inantenatal care (ANC) is vital for better maternal health outcomes. It reduces morbidity and mortality risks, ensuring the quality of care for pregnant women and newborns, supporting safe motherhood, and enhancing pregnancy support. <strong>Methodology: </strong>This cross-sectional study was conducted in Qutub Vihar, Goyla Dairy, New Delhi, from April to May 2023. It targeted men of reproductive age (106 individuals) residing in the peri-urban area. Data on men&#39;s involvement in antenatal services were collected through structured and semi-structured questionnaires. The study protocol received approval from the IIHMR &nbsp;Student Research Review Board, and SPSS statistics 23 was used for data analysis.<strong>Result:</strong>The study found that mostof the male partners (92.5%) were aware of antenatal care (ANC) services, and most mothers were registered for ANC check-ups during the first trimester. Mothers-in-law played a significant role in encouraging ANC visits. Male members were having good knowledge of ANC and advised their female partners on daily physical activities and delivery plans. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions to improve awareness among a small proportion of participants and promote comprehensive support for pregnant women.<strong>Conclusion:</strong>The study highlights the need to increase awareness and encourage male involvement in ANC in Goyla Dairy, South West Delhi, to improve timely registration and engage other family members, ultimately enhancing maternal and child health outcomes.

<strong>ABSTRACT</strong> <strong>Background</strong>:&nbsp; The Mission Indradhanush, is a flagship programmestarted by the Government of India in 2014.The objective is to achieve full immunization coverage for children up to 2 years of age and pregnant women. But the urban area has faced a lot of implementation challenges to cover full immunization. <strong>Materials and Methods</strong>: The community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the peri-urban area of Qutub Vihar, Goyla Dairy, Southwest District, New Delhi between the period of June 2022 and August 2022 to assess the immunization status of the children along with the assessment of the knowledge, attitude, and practice among mothers having children below two years of age. <strong>Results:</strong> Out of 155 participants, only 26 percent heard about Mission Indradhanush, and among those 26 percent participants, only 45 percentknow about its ongoing immunization services. 14 percent of children were partially vaccinated, 85percent of children were fully vaccinated, and one percent were not vaccinated. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: The age of the mother and literacy level of the father and mother is significantly related to the vaccination status of the child. Almost all the child was vaccinated at a government facility and were registered at a nearby facility. Most of the participants were unaware of Mission Indradhanushand its ongoing services at government facilities. Community workers must strengthen the IEC activities related to Mission Indradhanushat the community level for better utilization of services.

Antenatal care (ANC) is the care offered to pregnant mothers to ensure a healthy pregnancy and healthy babies. ANC has the potential to be one of the most effective health treatments for avoiding maternal morbidity and mortality, particularly in areas where women&rsquo;s overall health status is low. Materials and Methods: We conducted a community-basedcross-sectional study in the peri-urban area of Qutub Vihar, Goyla Dairy, Southwest District, New Delhi between the period of June 2022 and August 2022 to explore the knowledge, attitude, and practices of mothers about ANC services and ANC utilization and delivery practices. Results: Out of the 121 study participants, about 34 of the mothers (28.1%) did not have any idea about antenatal check-ups whereas 47 of the mothers (35.5%) said 4 antenatal check-ups must be done during pregnancy. Roughly 93 mothers registered during the first trimester, 22 mothers registered during the second trimester, and just 7 mothers registered during the third trimester. Nearly 36 of the mothers went for 4 ANC check-ups during pregnancy whereas almost an equal number (34 mothers) went for 6 ANC check-ups. When mothers were asked about various danger signs during pregnancy which require referral to the hospital, only 12 mothers knew about emergency signs whereas 60 mothers were unaware of these, 98.2 percent of mothers received tetanus injections to prevent convulsions whereas 1.8 percent were not given injections during ANC check-up,13.2 percent mothers did not consume IFA tablets during pregnancy whereas 86.8 percent taken medicines which were given during visits. Conclusion: The findings show that maternal knowledge is still an important factor in the effective utilization of antenatal services. The role of health workers in raising awareness about the significance of ANC and the danger signs of pregnancy among antenatal mothers in peri-urbanareas should be strengthened.

Background : Obesity is one of the major risk factors for hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, and diabetes. It is caused due to high consumption of fat food, sugar and a decrease in daily physical activity.Materials and Methods: Acommunity-basedcross-sectional study was conducted in the peri-urban area of Qutub Vihar, Goyla Dairy, South- West district, New Delhi between the period of June 2022 and August 2022. The objective was to assess the prevalence, factors associated, and perception and practice related to obesity between the age of 18 to 59 years. A convenient sampling method was used to select the participants. Body Mass Index was calculated for which height, weight, and waist circumference of the participants were collected. Results: The study found that out of 122 participants, 22.1percentwere found to be overweight and 26.2 percent obese, while 43.4 percent had normal weight and 8.2 percent were underweight. Waist circumference was found to be more than normal in 69.7 percent of participants. 55.9percent of participants among the overweight or obese compared to 43.4percent of normalweight individuals lacked knowledge. Among the overweight individuals, 64.4percent of them considered themselves overweight, 27.1percent of them were motivated to lose weight, 77.4percent considered their weight to be normal, 26.4percent considered their weight to be harmful and 9.4percentwere motivated to lose their weight. The percentage of individuals who consume beverages and fried items was more among the overweight or obese individuals compared to normal-weight participants, and the p-value was greater than 0.05. The association between working out and obesity showed a p-valueof 0.049. Conclusion: Obesity is one of the main risk factors leading to several hormonal and systemic disorders, hence it is essential to prevent obesity. This would include lifestyle modification and increasing the awareness and motivation towards staying healthy in the individuals. The Information, Education &amp; Communication (IEC) activities can be helpful in peri-urban areas for achieving the same. Health workers should be trained and actively involved in the early diagnosis, detection, and prevention of obesity and other health issues related to obesity mainly in the peri-urban area.
