The primary objective of this project is to improve the health of children aged between 6-14 years, especially girls. The secondary aim is to provide special care to children who require medical attention.

We selected a team of eminent medical professionals, to travel to the remotest villages every day and conduct these check-ups. The role was challenging as the locations were remote, inaccessible at times and scattered across blocks and districts.

The team was equipped with health screening kits, health cards and a health register to record data of every child, eventually building an archive and providing consequent check-ups.

In the primary medical screening, details such as height, weight, eye-sight, MUAC, pulse, oral and auricular hygiene were checked for early detection of deficiencies, developmental delay, presence of a disease or a disorder. Cases which required immediate attention were referred to a doctor or a hospital.

The program is designed to cover 11 districts in a period of four months. After covering this, the next phase, i.e. the next cycle gets in motion.
