he major limitations of the study are it is not a randomized trial and therefore the causality cannot be determined as we did not have a control group. Selection bias and interviewers bias is unlikely as the interviewers were trained to ask specific questions for each practice parameter and not any leading questions. The other limitations were -we evaluated only the four important IYCF parameters and not all as they were objective and easily recalled, and, the project was funded and it may not possible for all communities to follow suit. Whether the project activities would be sustained in the long run-say after 10 years is also yet to be seen.
