Unfortunately, many interventions often fall short of reaching beyond school walls. That’s where #Swabhimaan steps in, bridging this gap with innovative, community-driven solutions. Launched under the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) in partnership with #UNICEFIndia, Swabhimaan is making waves in Bihar, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha by bringing vital nutrition services right to communities. Through the dedication of #PoshanSakhis (community resource persons), women’s collectives, and Kishori adolescent girls’ groups, Swabhimaan extends essential support and guidance where it’s needed most. Evidence underscores the transformative role of women’s collectives under #DAYNRLM in promoting #dietarydiversity and mobilizing community-led demand. Together, they’re enhancing access to crucial nutrition services for adolescents, paving the way for healthier, stronger futures. #AdolescentNutrition #Swabhimaan #CommunityEmpowerment #PoshanSakhi #NutritionMatters #DAYNRLM #UNICEFIndia #WomenEmpowerment #Bihar #Chhattisgarh #Odisha #ROSHNI
