In India the civil society organizations have been experimenting and developing various communityparticipation models but mostly its spread has been limited and operations remained in silosbecause of lack of platforms and alliances to highlight their works. Therefore, Oxfam India has set anational coalition for civil society organizations from 15 states in the country to bring certain macro-level changes that can help to achieve the envisaged health, nutrition and women’s economicempowerment outcomes through a common platform. It is believed that this platform will give acollective voice to the people and has the capacity to negotiate and influence the state for thenecessary integration of health, nutrition and gender under the government flagship programmeslike NRLM, NHM, ICDS and others. Oxfam India acts as an interim Secretariat for this coalition at thenational level to provide necessary support for its effective functioning. As the thematic areas ofwork of this coalition are being looked through the lens of gender discrimination and socialinclusion, emphasis is being given on Dalits, Adivasis and Muslims communities.

As evidence generation is one of the key strategies for functioning of this coalition, Oxfam Indiaintended to develop a state factsheet for each of the target states to highlight health, nutrition andwomen empowerment related issues of the state.

Only the important indicators related to health, nutrition and women empowerment have beenincluded in this factsheet and presentation of segregated data is limited to only locations (rural &urban), caste categories (SC, ST, OBC & Others) and religious groups (Hindus & Muslims). As data forother religious categories are not available for all indicators for all sources, only two religious groupshave been considered for the present analysis.
