Child Development

Who We Serve

Pregnant women and children aged 0–2 years in Palasi and surrounding communities.

What We Do

• ‣Siśu Maṅgala — First 1,000 Days Nutrition Programme: monitors weight, height, MUAC, immunization, and developmental milestones for every enrolled child.
• ‣Nutritional classification: well-nourished, MAM (Moderate Acute Malnutrition), SAM (Severe Acute Malnutrition).
• ‣Referral pathway for SAM cases to government health services — no child falls through.
• ‣Gurukula education: standard academics alongside Sanskrit, music, and Vedic cultural learning.
• ‣Home visits by trained field officers — every enrolled family is known, not just counted.
