On the occasion of Poshan Maah, a national campaign focused on improving nutrition and health awareness, Yash Sewa Samiti (YSS) conducted a special awareness session and meeting for women on 10th September, 2020. The session focused on two key areas: nutritional awareness and the formation of Self-Help Groups (SHGs)—both crucial for empowering women and strengthening families.
Milk Distribution for Nutritional Support
As part of our commitment to practical support along with awareness, milk packets were distributed to all women attendees, reinforcing the message of nutritional care for themselves and their children. This small but significant gesture symbolized the importance of including protein-rich foods in daily diets.
Nutrition Awareness – Poshan for a Healthier Tomorrow
The meeting educated women on:
- Importance of balanced meals and daily nutrition
- Easy and affordable ways to combat anaemia and malnutrition
- Importance of nutrition for pregnant and lactating mothers
- How mothers can influence their family’s eating habits
SHG Formation – A Step Towards Financial Freedom
In the second half, an interactive session was held on the formation of Self-Help Groups (SHGs), where women learned:
- How to start an SHG
- Benefits like savings, income generation, and access to government schemes
- Examples of successful women-led micro-enterprises
- The power of collective strength and decision-making
The idea of women supporting one another financially and socially was met with enthusiasm, and several participants showed interest in forming SHGs in their areas.
Community Voices
“Nutrition aur kamai dono ki baat hui… doodh mila, jaankari mili, aur himmat bhi mili kuch naya karne ki,” shared one woman from Nandram Park.
Gratitude
YSS extends heartfelt thanks to the volunteers and supporters who made this event meaningful, nourishing both bodies and minds.
Because true empowerment begins with awareness, nourishment, and unity—and when women rise, families and communities rise with them.
