There were 6 hamlets under jurisdiction of these services in which 4 hamlets selected as a targeted population. Structured interview technique was used for data collection and 100 households were conducted interviewed about existing situation & services of the project and probability simple random sampling technique was used for interviewing the local community. Focus Group Discussion & personal observation approach was also practiced for collection more concise data about interventions in local area while total 20 Focus Group Discussion session conducted and 5 in each hamlet with equal women participation.

External component of the project was designed and funded by the Government of Punjab whereas internal component was completed by the community on self-help base. Women were engaged in this project and they influence on their family members to take part in the project by financial and men power.
