EXTENTION ACTIVITY

A nutrition survey was conducted on the 25th and 26th of December 2010.

Reason: It was recently published in a Mumbai newspaper that 18 children had died in Rafique Nagar Govandi, Mumbai due to malnutrition. Our sister organization, a local newspaper, "Janta Ka Aaina" also covered this news and this created a lot of interest.

Since Parivartan did not have experience in nutrition studies and started looking out for options. As luck would have it, at same time, NSS unit of the nearby B.M.N. College of Home Science approached Parivartan for volunteering activities. They readily agreed to the survey and head of dept. Mrs. Anuradha along with Parivartan team designed the survery and schedule. As it turned out, Mrs Anuradha was an expert in this area and a great survey was conducted.

The survey data has been analyzed and watch out for our next edition for the results.
