Malnutrition continues to plague our society, and this initiative aims to attack the root of the problem.

A determined and collaborative action by numerous departments has led to a fall in malnutrition in the district.

Tribal women of Jharkhand are using Mahua, which is popularly used for brewing country-made liquor, to make laddoos. This is not only helping them become self-dependent but also helping in the eradication of alcoholism from their village.

With the intention of providing at least one nutritious meal to expecting mothers, the initiative took flight in 2006.

Eram Scientific's e-toilets are showing how sustainable sanitation can be provided for the nearly 600 million Indians who still defecate in the open.

What could make a direct and immediate impact on the farming family’s nutritional status is what’s grown and consumed.

“I did not know what I was doing or feeling when I was under the influence. It helped keep the hunger at bay, and that was most important to me at that time.”

This unusual yet very effective effort has led to tangible positive changes in the lives of nearly 30,000 people!

The initiative not only provides these women from Kalwa for a job, but also has put them on a map with a cookery book that has a collection of all their recipes!

The meals along with calcium and iron tablets will be served to women from the beginning of pregnancy to 45 days after delivery.
