We had taken up improving the nutritional status among Rural and Tribal women as one of our causes since nutrition is very important to lead a healthy life. Inclusion of Nutritional diet in daily life helps enjoy good physical and mental health. Based on our research, we learnt that nutritional health is poor among rural and tribal women compared to urban women.
To kick off this initiative, 36 lactating and pregnant mothers in the tribal hamlets of Perunagar and Manamathi have been identified and are being given a kit of nutritional diet once a month for 6 months. Each kit contains Manna Health Mix, Dates, Horlicks and Milk Biscuits This will be completed in June 2023. The weights of the beneficiaries are being monitored on a monthly basis and their Haemoglobin levels extracted from the PHC records.
