Community Health Initiative 50% of India’s 113 million adolescent girls are anaemic 1 out of 3 children is underweight at birth (less than 2.5 kg), and most likely to grow up to be stunted. 42% of children, under age 5, are malnourished. 285 million people sleep hungry every night cannot possibly create a productive and efficient workforce…………. Only healthy mothers can produce a healthy nation, and so attention to nutrition for adolescent girls is of paramount importance. The need for good nutrition is based as much on good human development as it is on good economics. Adolescence in girls, offers a unique window of opportunity to break the cycle of malnutrition at the individual and inter-generational levels. Investing in their nutrition is a prerequisite to ensure adequate returns on investments made on their education, livelihoods and empowerment. Activities: Life Skills Education, Anaemia Control, Cultivation of Kitchen Gardens, Rubella Immunisation, Capacity Building of Government Health Staff & Village Health Committees. 8
