Role of Males

2023 → ongoing
  1. Listen · Mar 2023
    Tea-stall conversations across 12 panchayats

    Volunteer pairs sat at chai-stalls, mandi yards and barbershops — mapping how men talk about home, work and care.

  2. Frame · Aug 2023
    One behaviour: showing up at the anganwadi

    The alliance picked one specific, observable habit — fathers attending monthly anganwadi check-ups with their child.

  3. Co-create · Feb 2024
    Father–child weighing days, posters in male voices

    Anganwadis ran "Pita Diwas" weigh-in mornings; IEC posters used men's faces and phrases — "aaj ka growth check, aaj ka pyaar."

    Across the pilot districts, recorded male caregiver attendance lifted seven-fold over four quarters.

Children & Education

"Aaj kya seekha?" — one question, every classroom

2024 → ongoing
  1. Listen · Aug 2024
    Why parents stop asking after Class 5

  2. Frame · Oct 2024

    Designed around a single sentence — "Aaj kya seekha?" — printed on slates, postcards and panchayat boards.

  3. Co-create · Jan 2025
    Teacher–student–parent triad in 600 schools

    Schools ran "learning circles" — students reported one thing learned; teachers shared a parent script weekly.

  4. Measure · Sep 2025
    Daily learning-talk in 71% of homes

    Sample-survey: 71% of parents in pilot districts now ask the question at least 4× a week — up from a 9% baseline.

Life Cycle Nutrition

Poshan, din ke har waqt

2022 → ongoing
  1. Listen · Sep 2022
    Anaemia is a story of meals, not pills

    Field circles found families understood pills but not plates. Iron, protein and timing were missing from daily talk.

  2. Frame · Mar 2023
    One plate, three colours, every meal

    The alliance reframed nutrition as "teen rang ki thali" — green, yellow, red on every plate, twice a day.

  3. Co-create · Sep 2024
    Poshan Maah — alliance-wide IEC drop

    Anganwadis, panchayats, FM radio and schools ran the same plate-imagery — designed by the alliance, free to remix.

2020 → verified 2026
  1. Listen · Apr 2020
    Why families say "yes" earlier than they want

  2. Frame · Aug 2021
    One ritual: panchayat & school as joint signatories

    Every class-10 girl signs an "18-tak-padhungi" pledge — countersigned by the sarpanch and the headmaster.

  3. Co-create · Apr 2023
    "Beti Saath Saath" weekly circles

    Mothers, daughters, Anganwadi workers and elders meet weekly — to track every adolescent girl, by name.

  4. Measure · Oct 2025

    An independent audit verified that ten gram panchayats in Balod recorded zero under-18 marriages over the last 12 months.

  5. Milestone · Jan 2026

Kishor, khulkar baat

2023 → ongoing
  1. Listen · Jul 2023

Kavir Lab — community owns the change

2025 → pilot
  1. Listen · Jan 2025
    Co-design with Baiga & Kamar gram sabhas

    Three-day immersions in PVTG hamlets — the alliance brought no agenda, only listening tools and a notebook.

  2. Frame · Apr 2025
    One rule: the lab is the community's, not ours

    Each lab has a community-elected coordinator; alliance only documents and supplies craft tools when asked.

  3. Co-create · Aug 2025
    104 hamlet labs designed by hamlets themselves

    Some chose anaemia, some chose drinking-water hygiene, some chose girls'-school-attendance — all picked by the gram sabha.

    Reverse-survey design — communities rated alliance involvement; 88% rated the lab as "ours, with their support".
