Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The IRB approval (TRC-IEC- 285/16) for the intervention and evaluation component of the study was received from the Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) of Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI). Written informed consent was obtained from the participants. However, informed consent to randomization did not happen which does not seem to be a strict requirement for cluster randomized trials as the unit of randomization and the unit of observation are different [].
