𝐀 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞: 𝐀𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐡 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐆𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐚, 𝐉𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 At the 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, our continuous efforts through 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐬 aim to improve maternal and child health. During one such intervention, we came across Seengo Hembram, who was severely anemic with a hemoglobin level of just 6.5. While we were already working with her to address anemia, Seengo became pregnant. This made our intervention even more critical as anemia during pregnancy poses serious risks to both mother and baby. We intensified our efforts, counseling Seengo and her family about proper nutrition and anemia management. We also provided continuous monitoring and guidance, along with simple dietary changes and home-based remedies. Our Volunteer sister Churamani also played a vital role in ensuring Seengo followed through with her nutritional plan. Over time, with consistent care and support, Seengo’s health improved significantly. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy weighing 2.700 kilograms. 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲: • Seengo’s hemoglobin level has improved to 9.5. • Her weight is now 34.3 kg. • Her son, now 6 months old, weighs a healthy 7.8 kg. This story reflects just one of the many lives transformed through our ongoing Poshan Camps and interventions. With the right guidance, consistent efforts, and family support, healthier futures are possible.

𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬! 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐫 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐖𝐒-𝐋𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐡𝐨𝐣𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 We are thrilled to share that 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐫, one of the leading newspapers, has covered the incredible journey of reviving 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐡𝐨𝐣𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞, an indigenous and nearly forgotten rice variety, through the efforts led by 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 (𝐂𝐖𝐒) and Kolhan's women farmers. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐡𝐨𝐣𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥? • Known for its high nutritional value, minimal water requirement, and pesticide-free cultivation. • Once a staple in Kolhan during the 1970s, it had almost disappeared due to the rise of hybrid varieties. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬: • Over 300 farmers are now cultivating this traditional variety under the Annapurna Mahila Dheki Utpadak Samuh. • Electrically powered Dhenki machines, introduced with the help of IIT Kharagpur, have made rice processing efficient and boosted incomes for women farmers. • At the Saras Mela in Ranchi, Balibhojana rice was a crowd favorite, selling at ₹120/kg, with its rich nutritional profile drawing significant attention. The success of this initiative is a testament to the power of traditional farming practices and the resilience of women farmers.

🌿🐐 Empowering Rural Livelihoods Through Animal Health Camps! 🐐🌿 Our Jharkhand Resource Centre (JRC) recently organized a series of Animal Health Camps across various villages, focusing on improving the well-being of goats and supporting sustainable rural livelihoods. 🏡 These camps provided a platform for: ✅ Veterinary Check-ups: Offering timely diagnosis and treatment for common goat health issues. ✅ Vaccination and Deworming: Preventing diseases and ensuring healthier livestock. ✅ Awareness Sessions: Educating farmers on improved goat-rearing practices, nutrition, and disease prevention. Through these initiatives, we aim to strengthen the rural economy by empowering smallholder farmers with the knowledge and tools to maintain the health of their livestock, which serves as a vital source of income and nutrition. 🎉 Impact Highlights: • Over 650 goats were treated and vaccinated. • Benefitted more than 150 farmers across 5 villages. • Fostered community discussions on sustainable livestock management. A huge thanks to the teams, local communities, and volunteers who made these camps a success. Together, we’re making strides toward a more resilient and equitable rural economy! Let’s continue to champion rural empowerment and animal health. 🐾💚 #AnimalHealthCamp #GoatFarming #RuralEmpowerment #CentreForWorldSolidarity #SustainableLivelihoods MONIMOY SINHA | Rajesh Kumar Jha | Palash Bhusan Chatterjee | BALAKRUSHNA PANDA | Dr.Srisailam Maheswara | Abhishek Kumar | Anindita Moitra | Pallavi Sharma | DEBABRATA MAHATO | Debasish Dutta
