TRANSFORMING RURAL INDIA THROUGH
NUTRITION PROGRAMS
PROJECT POSHAN is our Health Education and Nutrition Planning Program that conducts Medical Camps all across rural geographies to detect early ailments in vulnerable rural children thereby saving human lives and nurtures future potential of the country. Through our Nutrition Planning Programs, we help children avail nutritious foods, live a better, healthy life and avoid further ailments due to mal-nutrition and fatalities.
Treatments and Guidance for the holistic well being of their students
Nutrition Guidance Programs are driven by the core objective of eradicating malnutrition, thus they require periodic and systematic monitoring of growth indicators by the stake holders. The Data Analysis Report from the health check-ups guides the field team to take immediate corrective measures for the children suffering from malnutrition. Medical camps are conducted by Medical Officers of Primary Health Centre and their paramedical staff on a pre-determined date.
