The issue of Malnutrition In Bargarh Bundelkhand One in every three malnourished children in the world lives in India and 50 percent of all childhood deaths in India can be attributed to malnutrition. Malnutrition limits development and the capacity to learn among children. Over half of the children under the age of five years in India are moderately and seriously malnourished, 30 per cent of newborn children are significantly underweight and nearly 60 percent of women are anemic. The prevalence of malnutrition varies across states, with Madhya Pradesh recording the highest rate (55 per cent) and Kerala among the lowest (27 per cent). According to CCF -India AIMES reports, 57% under-5 children in the communities are malnourished.  In order to reduce malnutrition status among children in rural areas, there is a need for a multi-pronged approach to address the immediate and underlying causes of the problems. Issues like economic status, lack...

Girls' education initiative - Uttar Pradesh In 1999, in partnership with the government and other voluntary organisations, UNICEF initiated a project for girls’ education in four blocks of Uttar Pradesh’s Barabanki district, where female literacy was about 15 per cent. Alternative learning centres (ALCs) were established in villages that did not have a primary school within a one-kilometre radius with the active participation of communities. Instructors were selected in co-operation with panchayats and preference was given to local candidates. The number of alternative learning centres increased from 50 in 1999 to 140 in 2001 when more than 4000 children were enrolled - a significant majority of which were out-of-school girls. A one-year residential camp programme for girls was also introduced to provide learning opportunities for older out-of-school girls. This is now being replicated under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) across the state.

A Journey of ASHA – from despair to hope By Kulsum Mustafa ALIGARH, India, 3 May 2010 -  From hope to despair to lasting hope. This is the true roller-coaster ride of an ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) who despite all adversities related to gender, caste and poverty has created history. She is credited with heralding a spree of institutional deliveries in her village. The first child from her village to be born in hospital was in September 2009. ASHA meaning ‘hope’ in Hindi, is a link between the community and health care delivery system; but for nearly three years after Puja Devi was selected as an ASHA in 2006, she was still not ‘accepted’ by the villagers. After all, Puja hailed from a ‘low’ caste and poor labor family of Binamai village, in Aligarh District of Uttar Pradesh. Puja describes those humiliating days in her own words, “While my own community members scorned at me, showing no faith in my acquired health skills; the upper caste families, w...
