Health and Nutrition

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Centre’s efforts were directed towards sensitizing local administrations and village panchayats in cleanliness, hygiene, measures to protect oneself from the virus and ensure safety of the community, through e-governance. Environmental degradation accounts for a large part of India’s disease burden. Our work focuses on establishing and assessing the linkages between environment and public health, particularly the health risks arising from growing pollutants in air, food and water. At the grassroots, we are promoting sustainable approaches to overcoming malnutrition in communities by enabling them to grow and consume locally available resources, awareness about food diversity around us which are medicinal and healthier, are a bundle of wealth to face pandemics like COVID by building immunity and enhancing maximum healing capabilities but are becoming neglected due to decreasing awareness in the younger generation.
