Playing or watching games constitute an important feature of our culture, both because of their significance in the lives of the people and their capability to bring families and communities together, and because of the degree of creativity and skill that work into devising them. No indoor games can match the passion with which the cards are played in India. Playing cards is often considered a pass time , a pleasure to neutralize the burdens of life which people face generally in their personal or professional lives. In Medieval period, the Mughal emperors introduced the Ganjifa playing cards in India. Bishnpur, in the Bankura district of West Bengal was the only place in Bengal, where the Hinduized Ganjifa popularly known as the Dashavatara cards were crafted by the artisans. Though, in course of time, the game was changed here both in its content and rules. The artisans from the Faujdar family of Bishnupur specialize in crafting these cards. Though the craft once enjoyed a glorious time, now it has become an instance of the numerous art forms of India that are gradually becoming extinct, as they are not commercially feasible in their own land of origin.

In this round, information on malaria prevention, migration in the context of HIV, abortion, violence during pregnancy etc. have been added. The scope of clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical testing (CAB) or Biomarker component has been expanded to include measurement of blood pressure and blood glucose levels.
