Vedanta’s “Khushi” project moves to deep rural villages in Chattisgarh to provide health, nutrition and education to deprived children
Now, Vedanta Khushi has 10 Child Care
Centres in the state of Chhattisgarh at Bhadrapara, Lalghat, Belgiri, Rumghara,
Jambahar, Chuhiya, Rukbahari, Barima, Ropakhar and Sapnadhar.
Keeping the focus
alive to strengthen the girl child presence in each centre, the Vedanta Khushi
campaign has been able to get more than 50% girl child in the these
centres. The total strength of children
in these centres is 320, and out of these, 164 are girls, which is more than
50%.This makes the Vedanta “Khushi” centres
to 22 now. India is a country with largest child population, largest child
deaths, largest street children and largest malnourished children in the
world.
Seeing this state of the country,
for once we felt apprehensive about building India for the future. It is sure,
government, NGOs, corporates alone cannot bring this problem to a solution
alone and common masses need to align and join on such mammoth national
missions.
This is where Vedanta decided to spread
the message of "Khushi" - Care for the Underprivileged Children.
Awareness is the key for bringing change, as only due to awareness the
knowledge gets shared.
The campaign Vedanta “Khushi” has
ultimate objective to see no child in India remains malnourished and is
deprived of primary health, education and nutrition.
