Although the health management information system (HMIS) shows that 80 percent of mother group meeting are being conducted as planned but the survey shows otherwise. The recent FCHV survey shows that only 46 percent of FCHVs reported conducting the health mother’s group meeting. Moreover, it is still not revealed how often and actually the health education takes place as the meeting conducted only for saving and credit purpose also is called as mother’s group meeting. Some of the reported problems for irregularities of health mothers groups meeting such as lack of allowance for tea-snacks, lack of appropriate place to conduct meeting, lack of innovative methods for providing health education materials such as audio-visual aid.
