Empowering Adolescent Nutrition in Aspirational Block Pratappur

In the Aspirational Block Pratappur, a crucial pilot study under the BIU initiative has embarked on a transformative journey to enhance adolescent health and nutrition. Accompanied by Afroz Khan ji from ABC, we visited the Gram Panchayats of Jarahi, Kanaknagar, Korandha, and Banshipur to engage with the youth. 

Through interviews with 4 boys and 6 girls, we explored their dietary habits and preferences. Our goal was to understand their daily dietary decisions deeply. Alongside these discussions, we provided vital information about nutrition, raising awareness and fostering healthier choices among the children. 

The insights gathered will guide future interventions tailored to address the specific nutritional needs of adolescent girls in Pratappur. This pilot study marks the beginning of a collaborative effort to empower and nurture the youth's health in the community. 

The enthusiasm and engagement of the children were truly inspiring, highlighting the potential impact of our initiatives. With the support of local influencers and stakeholders, we are committed to creating sustainable and impactful programs for a healthier future in Pratappur.
