झारखंड के गाँवों से निकली एक सच्ची कोशिश- केयरिंग सर्कल्स:मदद
जहाँ समुदाय ने मिलकर किशोरों के मन की बात सुनी,समझी और बदली मानसिक स्वास्थ्य की दिशा
यह कहानी है उस बदलाव की,जो तब संभव होता है जब लोग अपनी बात अपने तरीके और अपनी भाषा में कह पाते है|

Our second keynote speaker of the afternoon session, Dr. Nirmala Nair, Co-founder, @EkjutIndia, Jharkhand delivered her speech on "When Communities are Empowered, Health Improves". Inspired by Paulo Freire’s concept of critical consciousness, she emphasized 'Participatory Learning and Action' approach where women identify problems and implement co-produced solutions, citing examples from Bolivia and Nepal. Starting with a small team in 2004, her cost-effective research on reducing newborn deaths, endorsed by WHO in 2014, is now active across nine Indian states. She concluded that language is not a barrier and that all interventions should be led by women.
