A momentous milestone was achieved as we successfully hosted the Dissemination Event for the Sashakt Gaon, Viksit Rashtra initiative, a pilot intervention designed to strengthen Village Health, #Sanitation, and #Nutrition Committees (VHSNCs) in #Bahraich district. The dissemination event served as a learning sharing platform where the VHSNC members from intervention blocks joined the platform to share the stories of change followed by the perspectives of health officials on the intervention.
The intervention successfully empowered VHSNCs to take ownership of decentralized health planning, improved fund utilization, and monitor health services effectively. The Hub & Spoke Model proved to be a sustainable approach, enhancing VHSNC functionality through mentorship and structured capacity building.
Furthermore, to the success of the intervention, Health officials (State and District NHM) emphasized the need to scale up this intervention across the entire district and other Aspirational Districts, given its success in improving community participation, health outcomes, and coordination with health facilities. The model has demonstrated its potential to reinforce NHM’s policies at the grassroots level, ensuring better service delivery and governance.
Scaling this intervention will bring us closer to ensuring equitable and accessible healthcare for all! So, Let’s join hands in making community-led health governance a reality!

Consultative Workshop: Strengthening Inter-sectoral Collaboration to Prioritize Youth in Family Planning
A consultative workshop on "Strengthening Intersectoral Collaboration to Prioritize Youth in Family Planning" was organised on March 6, 2025 at the ANM Training Centre, Shravasti by @MamtaHIMC .
The meeting was chaired by the Chief Development Officer (CDO) and attended by representatives from the Health Department, Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRI), Rural Development, Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), Education, Food and Civil Supplies, and other departments.
The key discussion focused on the performance of the Family Planning program in the district. The CDO emphasized the importance of family planning in ensuring economic stability, better education, and an improved quality of life for families. He also highlighted that the Family Planning program could be integrated with other departments, and each department must incorporate it into their programs and take ownership.
He suggested utilizing existing platforms for service delivery, raising awareness, and tracking the availability and accessibility of family planning methods. He also recommended installing family planning kits in Panchayat Bhawans and Block Offices. Additionally, he proposed making Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials related to family planning available at ration shops, fair price shops, and other department offices. Outreach camps should also be conducted with the help of PRIs in brick kiln areas. Furthermore, he urged the state government to revise district-specific policies to strengthen family planning services in Shravasti.
The meeting included a brainstorming panel discussion and group exercises to develop block-specific plans and local strategies. More than 60 participants attended the workshop. Key participants included, Additional Director, Directorate of Family Welfare, Lucknow (GoUP) ,Dr. Ashok Kumar Singh, Chief Medical Officer (CMO), Shravasti and Dr. Uday Nath, ACMO (RCH).

The Annual Village Health Action Plan (AVHAP) is a key initiative under the Takeda project “Sashakt Gaon-Viksit Rashtra”, developed in collaboration with the State, District, and Block Health Authorities to enhance decentralized health planning. To ensure a structured approach, consultative approach was followed to design a comprehensive AVHAP including a Guidance Note to facilitate the effective use of AVHAP at the village level by VHSNC members. To ensure successful adoption, the AVHAP was distributed to VHSNCs, and a short training session was conducted to build their capacity in health planning.
This initiative reflects a collaborative effort to support the government in strengthening community-driven health planning and equipping VHSNCs with structured frameworks for effective decision-making at village level.

Continuing with our emphasis on research and evidence generation, we have now published the 126th paper which appeared in the International Journal of Health Sciences.
Pre-conception care pertains to any preventive, promotive, and curative interventions for improving the health outcomes of women. Contrary to the growing burden of intergenerational transmission of chronic diseases, women lacked awareness and access to services or pre-conception care. Considering this, we conducted a cross-sectional study to assess the awareness, perceptions, and practices of pre-conception care among women from young and middle-aged groups in the Morena district of Madhya Pradesh.

Our colleauge, Sakshi Dixit, had the incredible opportunity to be a part of the AMHCON 2024: Asia Pacific Conference on Adolescent Mental Health with the theme "Thriving Minds: Fostering Adolescents' Well-being", which took place at the Prasanna School of Public Health (PSPH), Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Karnataka, India. She presented a poster entitled, "A Mobile Application to Promote Mental Health Among Adolescents: A Pilot Study,".
She presented on Jagriti’s mobile application, which is designed for the provision of awareness of mental health issues among adolescents. Attending AMHCON 2024 was a profoundly enriching experience for her. The sessions were diverse and reflected the fact that a collaborative approach was the only way to deal with the challenges adolescents faced in today's fast-paced, technology-driven world and reminded everyone that mental health plays an important role in shaping the lives and futures of young people.
