Sangeeta was the first girl in her village to step out for an education and get a government job.

Today, she serves as a Community Health Officer in Betul, Madhya Pradesh, at the frontlines of public health. From encouraging women to seek health services to supporting them through pregnancy, her work is helping more families access care and shifting perceptions around what women can do and become.

Her story reflects how change often begins: when one woman takes a step forward and a whole community begins to imagine new possibilities.

This international Women’s Day, we are reminded that progress is rarely shaped by a single moment, but through years of determination and everyday acts that move our nation forward.

पोषण क्लिनिक जैसी सामूहिक पहलें कुपोषित बच्चों की समय पर पहचान, उपचार और देखभाल सुनिश्चित करते हुए स्वस्थ बचपन की दिशा में महत्वपूर्ण कदम हैं।

जिला प्रशासन एवं महिला एवं बाल विकास और स्वास्थ्य विभाग के समन्वित प्रयासों से समुदाय स्तर पर पोषण सेवाओं की पहुँच लगातार मजबूत हो रही है।

जबेरा विकासखंड में पोषण क्लिनिक के माध्यम से बच्चों के बेहतर स्वास्थ्य की ओर सामूहिक पहल
====

विकासखंड जबेरा में 0-5 वर्ष के बच्चों के बेहतर स्वास्थ्य एवं पोषण सुनिश्चित करने की दिशा में गत दिवस पोषण क्लिनिक का आयोजन किया गया। यह पहल महिला एवं बाल विकास विभाग और स्वास्थ्य विभाग के संयुक्त प्रयासों से प्राथमिक स्वास्थ्य केंद्र नोहटा एवं कलेहरा आंगनवाड़ी केंद्र में आयोजित की गई।

इस दौरान नोहटा, खमरिया मौजीलाल एवं कलेहरा सेक्टर के कुल 65 बच्चों की स्वास्थ्य एवं पोषण संबंधी जांच की गई। ये बच्चे आंगनवाड़ी केंद्रों के माध्यम से पूर्व में SAM एवं MAM श्रेणी में चिन्हित किए गए थे। जांच के उपरांत 20 बच्चों को पोषण पुनर्वास केंद्र (NRC) हेतु रेफर किया गया, जबकि अन्य बच्चों एवं उनके अभिभावकों को आवश्यक परामर्श प्रदान करते हुए समुदाय आधारित देखभाल से जोड़ा गया।

बच्चों तक समय पर पोषण सेवाएं पहुंचाने और कुपोषण प्रबंधन को मजबूत बनाने के लिए महिला एवं बाल विकास विभाग एवं स्वास्थ्य विभाग निरंतर समन्वय के साथ कार्य कर रहे हैं। इस प्रयास में अंतरा फाउंडेशन द्वारा सहयोग प्रदान किया गया है तथा आने वाले समय में अन्य सेक्टरों में भी ऐसे पोषण क्लिनिक आयोजित किए जाने की दिशा में प्रयास जारी हैं।

पोषण क्लिनिक जैसी पहलें समुदाय स्तर पर आंगनवाड़ी कार्यकर्ताओं द्वारा चिन्हित कुपोषित बच्चों और उन बच्चों के लिए महत्वपूर्ण हैं जिनके विकास में किसी कारण से बाधा आ रही है। यह पहल बच्चों की समय पर जांच, सही मार्गदर्शन और आवश्यक स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं से उन्हें जोड़ते हुए स्वस्थ बचपन एवं सर्वांगीण विकास की ओर एक महत्वपूर्ण कदम हैं।

In Tendukheda block, Damoh, many high-risk newborns were at risk of falling through the cracks. Crucial health updates about newborns often didn’t travel beyond individual health facilities, which meant frontline workers and supervisors couldn’t always respond quickly when families needed help.

Through our initiative, ANUGAMI, a new chapter of responsive newborn care is unfolding.

Today, high-risk newborns are tracked in real time, supervisors are alerted immediately, and coordinated action happens faster than ever before. Health workers and block officials now operate as one connected network; ensuring that referrals are timely, decisions are informed, and families receive clearer support during critical moments.

What stands out most is not just improved systems but the human commitment behind them. Supervisors stepping in even late at night. Frontline workers feeling supported in complex decisions. Families gaining confidence because help arrives when it matters most.

We are grateful to Infosys Foundation for their collaboration on this journey. Enabled by their support, our team is working closely with the district administration to augment ongoing efforts to bridge care gaps in measurable and meaningful ways. We are deeply thankful to the district leadership for their continued guidance and appreciate the proactive engagement of block officials who are translating intent into action on the ground.

Because often, saving lives begins with something simple yet profoundly impactful: ensuring the right message reaches the right person at the right time, so every mother and child get the care they deserve.

We’re honoured to have received the Promising Innovation Award at the INFUSE Summit organised by , Hyderabad, for our AI-powered health companion designed to support Community Health Workers ( ).

Our health companion was built on a simple belief: that ASHAs, ANMs, and Anganwadi workers deserve instant, reliable, and contextual guidance—in their own language—to do their work with confidence.

Our vision is to help shape public health infrastructure that truly works for the frontline—where strengthens human judgment, not replaces it.

With the right collaborations, such tools can become trusted conduits of scientific knowledge, reaching millions of women, children, and over 2 million frontline workers across the country.

We look forward to building this journey, alongside like-minded partners, to make last-mile health and nutrition guidance scientifically robust, inclusive, and scalable.

Progress often doesn’t announce itself. Sometimes it emerges quietly, through patience, understanding, and deep listening.

In this blog by Tarini Mohan, we reflect on how frontline health workers, community influencers, and persistence, rather than confrontation, shifted what looked like in one village in Madhya Pradesh.

It’s a reminder that strengthening health systems is as much about trust and empathy as it is about and design.
