In the Department of Community Medicine, Siddhartha Medical College, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India, community health department has launched an integral health and development program. A community-based physical activity program was deemed necessary after a multi-centric study. The study was conducted between the September 2022 to August 2023. Results: In the Pre-intervention phase of the study, 100 participants came from the Intervention A areas and 100 from the Intervention B areas. There were 200 total study participants. The two intervention areas' sociodemographic features were examined and contrasted. The majority of the working class people in Intervention-B village were employed by MNREGA. It may be said that MNREGA was successful in improving the situation of the rural poor and had given social and economic security to a size number of women.
