Campaign Story
About the project
The project area of Nagar block has very low awareness levels. The religious beliefs and cultural practices have kept them away from immunization among the children and pregnant women which lead to a large number of maternal and neonatal deaths. The people strongly believe that using family planning methods is against their religion and thus they have extremely large family sizes varying from 8 – 10 children to each couple. The traditional practices like pardah, child marriage is widely prevalent in the intervention area and women occupy an extremely low status in the society as well as in the family. The educational status is dismal. Usually, girls dropout after primary grades and are forced into household chores and sibling care. There is lack of information and sensitivity amongst the community regarding the available government programs for promotion of girls’ education among the community people.
