School health programme
Vision, dental, general and growth screening inside the school, with referrals followed up afterwards.
A child who cannot see the blackboard is not a slow learner
School health screening, awareness sessions and learning support across zilla parishad and ashram schools, plus practical education for farming families.
Education
What this programme does
Most of what stops a tribal child from learning is not in the classroom. It is untreated vision, an unchecked ear infection, iron deficiency that nobody spotted, or a school bag that was never affordable. So our education work starts with a stethoscope and moves outward from there.
Aarogya Tapasni Shibirs are held inside the school, student by student. Alongside them we run sessions on hygiene, on children\u2019s rights and on equality, and we distribute learning material, clothing and nutritional food where families cannot manage it.
The same principle carries into adult education. Farmers who do not know a government scheme exists cannot claim it, so we run soil testing camps, farmer fairs and awareness sessions on producer companies and rural policies.
