Life skills interactions with SHG leaders in Bihar have led to transformative outcomes, including enhanced leadership capacities, improved decision-making, and greater confidence in managing SHGs and community affairs. These leaders have developed effective communication skills, enabling them to articulate concerns, influence others, and engage stakeholders meaningfully. Financial literacy initiatives have empowered them with better budgeting, savings, and credit management, while fostering economic independence. Increased awareness of gender and social equity has encouraged advocacy against harmful practices like early marriage and gender discrimination. Strengthened networks among SHG leaders have promoted collective action, driving participation in local governance and collaborative problem-solving. Additionally, enhanced entrepreneurial skills and the pursuit of sustainable livelihood opportunities have bolstered their economic empowerment. Collectively, these outcomes empower rural women leaders to foster social change, improve economic conditions, and inspire community transformation.

Caritas India has launched Global Programme’s balanced diet campaign in schools to tackle some of Odisha’s highest malnourishment rates among young children. Among the tribal-dominated districts, 39.8 per cent of children under five years are suffering from malnutrition in Rayagada. The percentage increase has also been seen in severely wasted cases among children under the age of five. Nutrition and Food security are one of the priority themes of Caritas India’s Global Programme in Odisha, and the launch of the campaign is instrumental in improving the food practices and eating habits among children. https://lnkd.in/gN9e_SQa
