Chetna Project

Women from the project intervention area are now more involved in decision making related to their health, their children's education, and improving the economic status of their family.

Village Health Workers were recruited and trained as motivators and teachers of positive health seeking behaviour. 70 Asha's were trained on early registration, identification of complicated pregnancies, and motivating the community for child immunization, institutional deliveries & family Planning. This led to increase in safe institutional deliveries of pregnant mothers.

392 poor families were encouraged to construct toilets through awareness and hygiene camps. 55 soak pits, 234 garbage pits and 48 washing platforms were constructed.  58 literacy centers were established and 1102 learners became literate through literacy program.
