SARVAM organised a Women’s Health, Family Health and Nutrition Awareness Programme for 100 women from 15 villages with the objective of enhancing awareness of women’s health, balanced nutrition, family well-being, and preventive healthcare practices. The programme was conducted in three batches to ensure active participation, personalised interaction, and effective learning. By equipping women with practical knowledge and healthy lifestyle practices, the initiative aimed to empower them to make informed health decisions and strengthen the overall well-being of their families and communities.
The training was facilitated by two experienced medical doctors and a college professor, who delivered comprehensive and interactive sessions on various aspects of women’s health and family care. The sessions covered essential topics such as personal hygiene, reproductive health, maternal care, prevention and early management of common illnesses, child nutrition, and the importance of maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet throughout different stages of life. The resource persons also highlighted the pivotal role of women in nurturing healthy families by adopting preventive healthcare practices, encouraging regular health check-ups, and seeking timely medical consultation whenever required.
To make the programme engaging and easily understandable, the trainers adopted an activity-based learning approach that combined demonstrations, group exercises, interactive discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and practical examples from everyday life. These participatory methods simplified complex health concepts and encouraged women to actively engage with the topics being discussed. The practical demonstrations enabled participants to better understand healthy dietary choices, hygiene practices, and preventive measures that can be readily incorporated into their daily routines.
The participants enthusiastically took part in every session, openly discussing common health concerns, sharing personal experiences, and exchanging practical solutions based on their daily lives. This collaborative learning environment fostered mutual support and encouraged participants to learn not only from the resource persons but also from one another. The interactive nature of the programme helped build confidence among the women, enabling them to ask questions freely and gain clarity on important health-related issues affecting themselves and their families.
The programme concluded with an interactive feedback session, during which participants expressed their appreciation for the practical guidance, expert knowledge, and engaging learning experience. Many women shared that the sessions had increased their understanding of preventive healthcare, nutrition, and family wellness, while motivating them to adopt healthier habits and promote positive health practices within their households.
As an outcome, the programme significantly enhanced awareness of women’s health, family care, and balanced nutrition among the participants. It empowered them with the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills required to make healthier lifestyle choices and reinforced the understanding that healthy women are the cornerstone of healthy families, resilient communities, and sustainable social development.
