Health
At Kranti, we recognize that good health is the foundation for a fulfilling life. Our health activities are designed to address the unique healthcare challenges faced by the Adivasi and NT-DNTs communities and ensure access to quality healthcare services.
Through health awareness campaigns, we strive to empower community members with knowledge about various health issues, preventive measures, and the importance of adopting healthy lifestyle practices. These campaigns are conducted through interactive workshops, community meetings, and outreach programs to disseminate information effectively.
We understand that access to healthcare services can be limited for marginalised communities. To bridge this gap, we organize regular health check-ups and medical camps, providing free medical consultations, screenings, and basic healthcare services.
These initiatives aim to identify health concerns early on, facilitate timely intervention, and improve overall well-being.
Immunisation is a crucial aspect of preventive healthcare. We actively promote immunization drives in collaboration with healthcare professionals and local authorities to ensure that community members, especially children, receive necessary vaccinations and protection against preventable diseases.
Proper nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining good health. Our nutrition programs educate community members, particularly children and expectant mothers, about the importance of balanced diets, healthy cooking practices, and the significance of consuming nutritious food for overall well-being.
Addressing menstrual health and hygiene is another important aspect of our health initiatives. Through education and awareness programs, we strive to break the taboos and misconceptions surrounding menstruation. We distribute sanitary products and provide menstrual hygiene education to women and girls, empowering them to manage their menstrual health with dignity and confidence.
By implementing these health activities, we aim to improve the overall health and well-being of the Adivasi and NT-DNTs communities. Our goal is to create a society where everyone has equal access to healthcare, is knowledgeable about health-related issues, and can make informed decisions to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.

1) Issues of a pregnant and lactating woman:
Unskilled home-based deliveries pose significant risks to the health and well-being of expecting mothers from the communities we serve. At Kranti, we have developed a unique approach to address this issue. Instead of solely focusing on the dangers of home-based deliveries, we empower expecting mothers by conducting engaging workshops and sessions that provide them with the necessary knowledge and skills for safe and healthy childbirth.
During these workshops, we create a supportive and educational environment where expecting mothers can learn about prenatal care, the importance of professional medical assistance during childbirth, and the potential risks associated with unskilled deliveries at home.
We also emphasize the significance of seeking healthcare from trained professionals, such as midwives and doctors, who can provide proper medical guidance and support throughout the delivery process.
Our unique approach is centred around empowering women to make informed decisions about their reproductive health and ensuring they have access to essential healthcare services. By equipping them with knowledge, we strive to reduce the prevalence of home-based deliveries and promote safer alternatives that prioritise the well-being of both mother and child.
At Kranti, we firmly believe every woman deserves access to safe and quality healthcare during pregnancy and childbirth. Through our workshops and sessions, we aim to break the cycle of unsafe home-based deliveries, ensuring that expecting mothers have the information and resources they need for a healthy and positive birthing experience.

2) Adolescent empowerment
At Kranti, we understand adolescence's critical role in shaping an individual's future. To address the unique challenges faced by adolescents from the Adivasi and NT-DNTs communities, we have developed a distinctive approach to adolescent empowerment that goes beyond traditional methods.
Our approach focuses on nurturing the holistic development of adolescents, empowering them with knowledge, skills, and confidence to navigate the complexities of adolescence and build a promising future. Here are some key components of our unique approach:
Kranti’s Health Activities :
➤ Health Awareness Campaigns : We conduct health awareness campaigns to educate the Adivasi and NT-DNTs communities about various health issues, preventive measures, and the importance of maintaining good health. These campaigns are conducted through workshops, community meetings, and outreach programs.
➤ Health Check-ups and Medical Camps : We organize regular health check-ups and medical camps in collaboration with healthcare professionals. These camps provide free medical consultations, screenings, and basic healthcare services to community members who may have limited access to healthcare facilities.
➤ Immunization Drives : We facilitate immunization drives to ensure that children and adults receive necessary vaccinations and preventive healthcare measures. We work closely with local healthcare providers and authorities to promote immunization and increase vaccination coverage within the communities.
➤ Nutrition Programs : We promote proper nutrition and healthy eating habits among community members, especially children and expectant mothers. Through nutrition programs, we provide guidance on balanced diets, healthy cooking practices, and the importance of incorporating nutritious food into daily meals.
➤ Comprehensive Life Skills Training : We provide comprehensive life skills training to adolescents, equipping them with essential skills such as communication, decision-making, problem-solving, and critical thinking. These skills enable them to make informed choices, set goals, and effectively navigate various aspects of their lives.
➤ Mentorship and Guidance: We understand the importance of positive role models in an adolescent's life. Through our mentorship and guidance programs, we connect adolescents with caring and supportive mentors who provide guidance, support, and a listening ear. This mentorship fosters personal growth, self-esteem, and resilience among adolescents.
➤ Career Counseling and Vocational Training: We assist adolescents in exploring their interests, talents, and career aspirations through career counseling sessions. We also offer vocational training programs that equip them with practical skills relevant to their interests, fostering economic independence and increasing future prospects.
➤ Leadership and Civic Engagement : We believe in youth leadership's power and ability to effect positive change. Our programs encourage adolescents to actively participate in community development initiatives, enabling them to become agents of change and contribute to improving their communities.
➤ Safe Spaces and Peer Support : We create safe spaces where adolescents can freely express themselves, share experiences, and receive peer support. These spaces foster a sense of belonging, provide a platform for open discussions, and encourage healthy relationships among adolescents.
➤ Menstrual Health and Hygiene Education: Our primary focus is to raise awareness about menstrual health and hygiene among women and girls. We achieve this through initiatives that involve distributing sanitary products, providing menstrual hygiene education, and addressing taboos and misconceptions surrounding menstruation. Our aim is to emphasise the importance of physical and mental well-being, and to achieve this, we provide comprehensive health and hygiene education to adolescents. Our informative sessions cover various topics including reproductive health, hygiene practices, nutrition, and mental well-being. By equipping adolescents with knowledge in these areas, we empower them to make informed decisions about their overall well-being.
