The LIFE study examines socio-economic and environmental influences on children’s health and development in India. It aims to understand the link between the environmental conditions in which Indian women conceive, go through their pregnancy and give birth, as well as their physical and mental health during this period. By linking environmental factors to health outcome measures, the LIFE Study has the potential to pinpoint the root causes of many conditions that are excessively prevalent in India, including low birth weight, pre-term birth, other pregnancy outcomes and diseases or development disorders of early childhood. This study is being conducted in 40 villages in Medchal mandal and till date 1200 fertile married women in the age group 15 to 35 years have been enrolled in this study.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in India. Morbidity due to cardiovascular disease also contributes to significant impoverishment of individuals, families and the nation. Undetected and uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes contribute to the bulk of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality.
The REACH project has developed a dynamic model of primary health care for 40 villages of the Medchal Mandal, Andhra Pradesh. The focus of its activities has been prenatal care of pregnant women, immunization of infants and family planning interventions. REACH believes that by using a comprehensive mapping and tracking mechanisms of individuals and households, targeted service delivery is possible. This is supported by a beneficiary / household level tracking mechanism innovatively used with a GIS interface in Medchal Mandal, Andhra Pradesh. This database currently covers 8,431 households in 40 villages, comprising 45952 individuals. REACH’s intervention has been able to attain 97.49% (2011) immunization coverage along with a reduction in infant mortality and maternal mortality rates in the region. SHARE is currently supporting the replication of this model in Moinabad, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan.

Invasive cervical carcinoma is a major cancer of women in the developing world. Nearly one-fourth of the new cervical cancer cases worldwide is estimated to occur in India, where a large majority is identified in an advanced and inoperable stage of disease.
The increase in the older population is most rapid in developing countries and in the oldest old. There is a need for more detailed data on the prevalence and causes of disability in these countries and also an opportunity to better understand the causes and consequences of disease by examining cross-cultural differences.
