Community Managed Health & Nutrition :
The major theme of IKP interventions is fostering community management of these activities so that sustainability is maintained even after the project ends. As defined by Hossain et al, "community driven interventions lead to the empowerment of a community to obtain self reliance and control over the factors that affect their health". This is the driving impetus behind IKP.

An overwhelming amount of evidence, from across the world and within India too, shows that community based projects have dramatically improved maternal and child health outcomes. Unique to IKP is the formation of nine million women into Self Help Groups (SHG's) that are collectively organized at village level as Village Organization (VO), Mandal level as Mandal Samkhyas and at district level as Zilla Samkhyas by the Institution Building division These structures enable all the interventions to be executed promptly with community inputs. In the beginning of the interventions, there is considerable handholding, massive exercises, and trainings undertaken by SERP. After these interventions are stabilized SERP only serves as technical expertise agency, thus reducing community's reliance on external agencies.

The Community Managed Health & Nutrition project is a comprehensive package of community based interventions which include Nutrition cum Day Care Center (NDCC), Health Savings & Health Risk Fund, Convergence of Fixed National Health Day, Water & Sanitation program, Sanjeevani Health Insurance, and Capacity Building of Health Activist (HA), Health Sub Committee (HSC), and Community Resource Person (CRP). CMH&N interventions focus on four major public health areas : maternal health, infant and child care, environmental health, community health system and communicable diseases.

The Community Managed Health and Nutrition (CMH&N) intervention utilizes trained community members in the form of Health Activist (HA) and Community Resource Person (CRP) to transmit messages about maternal, neonatal, infant care practices to SHGs and village organizations. The major objectives of training are demystifying medicine, using health education with local case studies and culture, promoting self confidence amongst community members, decision making & managing by the community, and integrating other social reforms to reduce overall poverty. IKP has also integrated training of Health Sub Committee, which consists of internal members of the community to provide critical monitoring and feedback on HN activities at village, mandal and district level.
