COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE:
One of the main objectives of the Society is to create social, health awareness and impart health education and improve the health conditions of the people in its target areas. To fulfill this objective, the society conducted various health camps, trainings, awareness campaigns and seminars.
Due to poverty and other social reasons, health was not given due priority and importance by the women and children. Community health education as a key activity is being implemented in all the target villages. As a part of reinforcement the topics were taught.
• Basic health information.
• Hygiene and cleanliness.
• Herbal medicine.
• Immunization

Medical camps were organized in the target villages involving the Government doctors and Primary health centre officials. The aim of health trainings and medical camps was to make the people aware of basic facts about health care, prevention of diseases. Thousands of families benefited through these health programs. Now people are becoming more aware of their health status and paying attention to make use of service of primary health centre.
Awareness on HIV and AIDS was given to the target beneficiaries. Through these awareness programs, the target population has become aware of this dreaded disease and takes precautions to elude infection. They are also taught to give proper care and love to the people who are infected with HIV/AIDS. Nearly 40,000 people were given awareness on this dreaded disease.

 

SOCIAL AWARENESS TRAINING:

Awareness program on personal and social hygiene was conducted for the self help group women in the target areas. The resource persons and the program staff gave valuable inputs how to keep themselves and their surroundings neat and clean. We used charts and pictograms which helped the beneficiaries to register in their minds what they learnt. We also motivated them to apply for the construction of individual toilets supported by the State government.

ACHIEVEMENTS:
• People practice good health practices and approach Primary health centers for curative purpose.
• Mobile health clinics were arranged to diagnose the sick and given proper treatment.
• 30000 women learnt the health education
