Nutrition intervention
We created one demonstration center in each PHC area. The caregivers/mothers were invited to this demonstration center monthly for interaction and discussions on creating recipes for pregnant mothers and young children. In addition to these activities, we created a nutrition garden in households, wherever at least 200 square feet of space was available. Eighteen kitchen gardens were set up in the intervention villages. The Project team provided the seeds and saplings, whereas the household members sowed the seeds and maintained the nutrition garden. More preference was given to foods that were locally consumed.
