Kabita gives advice on contraception to mother-of-two, Tuni, so she can plan the size of her family.
Local community health workers - or 'ashas' - like Kabita are trained to give care and support to mums-to-be in every village across the state of Odisha. They are also on hand to give advice on family planning.
Background
Britain is working with the Government of Odisha, one of India's poorest states, and UNICEF to save the lives of thousands of mums and babies.
