Girijan Poshan Mitra: Breaking Free from Anaemia through Community-Based School Nutrition

Anaemia is a widespread but often overlooked health challenge, particularly among tribal adolescent girls. The Girijan Poshan Mitra initiative was launched by ITDA Utnoor as a transformative, community-based intervention to combat anaemia in 15,724 tribal girls studying in 60 Ashram High Schools. The goal is to ensure each girl is tested, treated and educated.
