This presentation gives a brief of Sukarya's Economic Empowerment of Women Programme. It gives information about EMPOWERMENT OF RURAL WOMEN THROUGH
SELF HELP GROUP AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
BUILDING – SAATHI PROJECT. Sukarya started the SAATHI project in January, 2008 with support of Charities Aid Foundation India (CAF) and Godfrey Phillips India Limited (GPI). The project aims to empower rural women through the formation of Self Help Groups and entrepreneurship building. Apart from efforts aimed at guiding savings and inter-loaning within the group, the members are being imparted vocational skills in locally marketable trade and practices based on their interest, aptitude and capabilities. The idea behind the effort is to help women earn and contribute towards their own and the well-being of their families and community at large. The focus of Sukarya in all its effort has been to reach out to the marginalized and underserved sections of poor women who have been left out of the development process. The activities are thus meant for those, who have had little education and access to health services or economic and political resources and thereby are the most constrained. To reach out to this un-reached section has been our biggest challenge.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

4. MESSAGE
Dear Friends,
The focus of Sukarya’s work as a non-government development
organization has been on improving the health status of the urban and
rural poor especially in certain districts of Haryana; where gender and
social concerns impacting on women’s accessibility to economic and
social resources are far more glaring. Sukarya’s motto ‘Better health-
better society’ has guided its health related programs in communities.
However over the years, the vision of Sukarya and along with it, its area
of operation have evolved from curative programs focusing on direct
health benefits to subsume preventive health and advocacy initiatives
Meera Satpathy that are equally critical in impacting health outcomes.
Chairperson, Sukarya
In all its effort, the aim of Sukarya has been to reach the un-reached,
marginalized and most vulnerable sections of society. In a society
characterized by widespread social, economic, and gender inequalities,
and a society with inequitable distribution of development, there
exists a disparity in access to resources. Sukarya has therefore been
particularly focusing on concerns of women and children who remain
disadvantaged and to whom ‘heath’ remains elusive because of broader
socio-cultural and economic factors. The high infant and maternal
morbidity and mortality rate is a clear development indicator that
proves the low health status of women and children in our country
despite some strident development in other areas.
6. 1.1 Genesis, aims and objectives
Sukarya is a non-government development organization working on
issues affecting the urban and rural poor in Haryana, with a special
focus on health, since 1999. It was formally registered in 2001.
For the past 10 years, we have been working in the urban slums of
Gurgaon and have also made inroads into rural development in the
state of Haryana. With a humble start in 1999, Sukarya has seen a
continuous growth in staff, beneficiaries and fields. We have a rare
combination of volunteers with spiritual and emotional commitment
and knowledgeable professionals.
Our vision is in achieving sound health for the poorest sections of
the society, especially women, adolescents and children by not just
providing access to health care but empowering them to create a
healthy society through promotion of efficacious and affordable
methods of disease prevention. We particularly seek to empower the
women and children for ‘Behtar Swasthya Behtar Samaj’.
Sukarya aims to achieve sound health for the poorest section of the
society, especially women, adolescents and children by not just
providing access to health care but empowering them to create a
healthy society through promotion of efficacious and affordable
methods of disease prevention. It was established with the following
objectives:
• To advocate, encourage and guide positive ‘health-seeking behaviour’
with special emphasis on physical, mental and social well-being.
• To improve the maternal and child health through training,
awareness campaigns, workshops, and health related education.
7. • To advocate, promote and sensitize communities on Primary Health
Care, Reproductive Child Health and Family Planning.
• To empower women by strengthening their physical and emotional
well-being and economic security.
• To initiate and implement social and community development
activities in the field of healthcare, income generation for women
as well as education for the weaker sections of society.
• To provide humanitarian assistance to areas affected by natural
calamities such as cyclones, earthquakes and floods.
1.2 Key activities and outreach
Sukarya’s initial work focused on providing free health services to the
poor by organising health camps that focused on diagnostic services,
referral services and distribution of medicines in slums and villages of
Delhi and Haryana. Subsequently, upon its expansion, Sukarya has been
actively undertaking various advocacy based, curative and preventive
health projects in collaboration with the Population Foundation of
India. The IEC campaigns of Sukarya focuses on nutrition, hygiene,
sanitation and reproductive health to improve the general health status
in the rural areas and urban slums of Haryana. Additionally, Sukarya
also provides humanitarian assistance in times of natural calamities.
The current activities of Sukarya are focused on five key areas:
1. Health Care
2. Women Empowerment
3. Promoting Entrepreneurship
4. Life Skills
5. Relief Work (Natural Calamities)
8. The outreach of Sukarya largely covers Delhi, Haryana and to some
extent adjacent districts of Rajasthan. In Haryana, its activities are
mainly covered Gurgaon and Mewat districts. However, for relief-
work in events of natural calamities, it has also worked on locations
like, Jagatsinghpur and Paradeep districts of Orissa during cyclone in
1999, Khoru and Morvi village of Sundenagar district of Gujarat during
earthquake in 2001 and district of Kanchipuram and Pudhunadukuppam
in Tamil Nadu during Tsunami in 2004.
1.3 Sukarya’s involvement in women related issues
Women have always been the focal point of all the activities undertaken
by Sukarya so far. The health-care programmes, which have been
the mainstay of Sukarya’s activities, have always kept women as the
primary target. They are the main beneficiaries of the various health
related interventions of Sukarya, such as, mobile health diagnostic
clinic, anaemia detection, prevention and eradication campaign,
health centres, physiotherapy unit, generalized and specialized
medical camps, health melas, and vaccination drives.
Understanding the importance of economic independence (self-reliance)
of women towards the larger goal of women empowerment, Sukarya
has initiated several projects of skill development through vocational
trainings (like beautician course, spices processing etc.) for women in
the villages to enable them to earn some income for themselves and
their families by using their skills.
The programme of imparting life skills is exclusively targeting women,
given their vulnerable position in the society. The objective of this
programme is to develop understanding about self and environment,
9. interpersonal skills, problem solving, decision making, handling emotions
and stress management (mental health) among women. An important
component of the package is education on ‘reproductive health’
that covers the issues like sexual health, marriage, family planning,
parenthood and other related aspects. Sukarya also undertook advocacy
campaign through the medium of street play to sensitize parents and
local communities about women’s rights, gender discrimination and
its consequences.
Educating girl child has also been focus of Sukarya’s intervention in
education. It has also assisted government in implementing Integrated
Child Development Services (ICDS) in rural Gurgaon, where it targets
school drop-out girls in the age group of 11-18 years and attempts
to meet their nutrition, health, education, recreational and skill
development needs.

Men as Partners in Improving the health Status of the Rural
Communities (supported by Concern India Foundation and
The Bird Group, Delhi)
Under the community health program, Sukarya is implementing a
project in the most backward and the deprived district of Haryana,
Mewat. Mewat is the land of the Meos, who have their genesis in the Meo
tribals, who are basically an agriculture based society. The area has a
distinct ethnic and socio-cultural tract. Historically, the region has had
an extremely turbulent history and has
been subjected to repeated invasions.
The destruction and devastation over the
centuries has resulted in backwardness
and gross underdevelopment both in the
area and its people. Sukarya initiated its
work in Mewat District from June 2008.
Our project objectives focus on male
partnership and participation in improving
the overall health status of rural
communities. It has been seen that
11. Haryana has a male dominated society, where most of the decisions
are taken by men. Involving men in health-specially reproductive and
sexual health- in such settings is complicated and demands long-term
commitment. Yet, the rewards can be profound. The potential benefits
of male involvement include expanded rights for women, improved
family health, better communication between partners and informed
joint decision making within households.
This project aims to reach a population of 29000 in 13 villages of
Tauro Block of Mewat District. The project is supported by The Bird
Group, Delhi. The thrust of the project focuses on health education
and awareness. Male health groups will play a key role and will provide
platform for health education to identify health issues and problems
and to take actions at the ground level for seeking health products
and services. The project will facilitate easy, accessible and affordable
health products and services to the community through camps, mobile
clinics, provision of medicines and diagnostic facilities and most
importantly refer serious cases to private and government hospitals.
Better health through Community based
health centre (supported by Charities Aid
Foundation and Incentive Destination)
A number of programs have been initiated by policy
makers in India since its independence to bring about
positive change in the health of the citizens of India.
A huge amount of money has been spent to provide
quality health services to the rural population of the
country. However, there is still a large proportion of
rural population that is deprived of it. For instance
12. Bandhwari, a village with a population of 5000, which falls on the
Gurgaon-Faridabad highway, 18 kms from Gurgaon, has residents who
were entirely dependent on quacks for primary health services. There
was no clinic or dispensary in the village. Even the transport facilities
in the village are very poor. Taking these facts into consideration,
Sukarya started a small but important joint venture in the village with
the support of CAF and Incentive Destinations.
The goal of the Project was to increase awareness and improve in
the overall health of the gram panchayat of Bandhwari. In order to
achieve the goal in a perfect manner, we worked with a well planned
strategy. A health centre was established for the people of Bandhwari,
with an M.B.B.S doctor and a medical dispenser, active five days in a
week. To strengthen community participation, four community health
workers were selected from the village itself. These health workers
played a vital role in bringing needy people to the health centre
and in conducting the follow-up of these patients. To address the
issues related to women’s health, visits by a female specialist doctor
were scheduled twice in a month. Further, IEC material is also being
developed to generate awareness related to health and sanitation.
Women empowerment by strengthening self help group
and micro enterprise development (supported by Charities
Aid Foundation and Godfrey Phillips India Limited)
Keeping the larger objectives of economic self-reliance of women
in view, in the year 2004, Sukarya set-up a spices processing centre
at its office in order to assist poor women in generating additional
income for their household, by utilizing their skills in the production
of spices, pickles and chutney through traditional methods that
0
13. minimise the loss of nutritional value,
aroma and taste. To upscale the initiative
to extend the benefits to a large number
of poor women in its operational areas by
organising them in Self-Help Groups (SHGs),
in January 2008, Sukarya launched a project
titled “Empowerment of Rural Women
through SHGs and Entrepreneurship Building”
with the financial assistance from Godfrey
Phillips India, New Delhi. The objective of
the project was to form and strengthen SHGs
by inculcating habit of savings and enforcing
credit discipline and to provide vocational
training on spice making to the women members of SHGs to provide
them an avenue of income generation. The target areas were Bandhwari,
Waliawas and Gwalpahari villages of Gurgaon district in Haryana.
Women’s Income Generation Group
- Spice Making Project (By Sukarya)
Started in 2004, this is a modest step
towards assisting women of marginalized
communities in generating additional
income for meeting their household needs,
by utilizing their skills in the production of
unadulterated spices, pickles and chutney.
Sukarya provides women with space, capital
investment, and other required resources
for grinding fresh spices (including Besan,
Dhania, Haldi, Chilly, Jira, Curry powder,
14. Garam Masala) and packaging them. They are given wages for their
labour. The money received from the sale of the spices is used to
keep the Project running. The Project has benefited several women of
Wazirabad and Kanhai villages. Apart from production of spices we have
also expanded our range of products to include Papad, Achar and Chutney
so that we can involve and reach more families through this work.
Improving Reach and Access of RCH and FP services with
Quality of Care KIRAN (Knowledge based Intervention for
Reproductive health Advocacy and actioN) in partnership
with Population Foundation of India (PFI), Delhi
Background
Mewat district was carved out from erstwhile Gurgaon and Faridabad
districts, which came into existence on 4th April 2005 as the 20th
district of Haryana. The newly constituted district comprises of three
sub-divisions namely Nuh, Firozpur Jhirka and Hathin. The district
headquarter is located at Nuh. The district comprises of six blocks
namely Nuh, Tauru, Nagina, Firozpur Jhirka, Punhana and Hathin.
There are 532 villages in the district.
According to the Census of India 2001, the total population of Mewat
district is 9, 93,617. Majority of the population 95.36% lives in rural
areas. The Male: Female sex ratio in Mewat is only 894 females to each
1000 male as against the national average of 927 females per l000
males. Infant mortality rate and maternal mortality rate in Mewat is
not available, but considering the poor health facilities, large family
size and the adverse sex ratio, it can be safely assumed that it is high.
The literacy rate in Mewat is appallingly low, particularly in case of
females. For Muslim women in Mewat, the literacy rate ranges 1.76%
15. to 2.13%, the lowest in the country. The literacy rate for men also
falls below the National average and ranges 27% to 33%.
Area Selection and Rational
The selection of Mewat district was done keeping in mind the socio-
demographically backward districts in the country which are priority
areas for implementing the Reproductive and Child health interventions.
Mewat has its genesis in its tribal inhabitants, the Meo tribals. Meos
is a Muslim dominated community with distinct ethnic and socio-
cultural characteristics. It has a large family size of 5-10 members per
household. The females have very poor status in the family. Men are
the decision makers and pose a great resistance to change, especially
health seeking behaviour. For selection of the intervention block, the
six blocks of Mewat district were ranked on the basis of a Composite
Index which included four indicators: female literacy, gender disparity
in literacy, child sex ratio and proportion of population 0-6years. Touru
emerged as the most backward block whereas Nuh block (ranked 3rd)
also emerged as a needy area related to
access of reproductive health services.
The selection of the villages was done in
consultation with government officials.
The project is a joint initiative by
Population Foundation of India and

Reduction in the prevalence of Anemia – an important
factor of maternal mortality and morbidity [supported by
Population Foundation of India (PFI), Delhi]
Under the reproductive child health program,
Sukarya is implemented a pilot project to
reduce the prevalence of anaemia among
pregnant women, lactating mothers and
adolescents. The project reached 30000
people in 10 villages of Gurgaon distict in
Haryana. It was initiated in May 2006 and
its projected duration was for 3 years. The
project focus primarily was on behavior
change communication to effectively
motivate the target group and high risk
people. This was done by promotion of
knowledge, by encouraging the adoption of
17. healthy practices and the provision of
needed health products and services
at the community level for anaemia
reduction. This project was supported
by the Population Foundation of India,
New Delhi.
Promoting Rural Health by Health
Promotion Camps (supported by
Give India and The Bird Group)
Sukarya implemented a project titled
“Delivering Health Services by a Mobile
Diagnostic Clinic” in six villages of the Pataudi block from April 2007 to
May, 2008. This was the first intervention where Sukarya has initiated
the mobile clinic services in the rural areas of Haryana. Before the
intervention of the project, meetings were conducted with District
commissioner, District Development and Panchayat officer and Chief
Medical Officer to seek their support and guidance for implementing
this project.
It was a conscious decision taken by Sukarya to work in the Pataudi
Block. It was the first mobile clinic intervention with Sukarya’s initiative,
without any support from donors. After visiting the villages in Patuadi
Block and conducting a few group discussions with stakeholders, six
villages were short listed for the implementation of the project.
18. SHOBHA - A step towards self reliance supported by Charities
Aid Foundation and Godfrey Phillips India Limited, Delhi
Project Shobha was an extension of the
“Saath Saath project” implemented by
Sukarya. The objective of this project was
to enable the skill development of girls
and women in the villages by providing a
vocational beautician training course. The
training course was being conducted in the
village Ghata, of Gurgaon. The duration
of the course was for 4 months and the
technical skill was being provided by a
recognized and experienced professional
of this field. The training aimed to build
confidence and make them self-reliant.
Sukarya plans to extend it to the other villages of Gurgaon for the skill
development of adolescent girls.
Saath Saath Project (supported by Charities Aid Foundation
Godfrey Phillips India Limited, Delhi)
This Project aimed to empower and enhance
the overall status of adolescent girls and
young women. The objective was to impart
life skills through learning about self,
environment, interpersonal skills, problem
solving, decision making and handling of
emotions and stress management (mental
health). “An important component of the
Project was education on ‘reproductive
19. health’ and covered issues like sexual health, marriage, family
planning, parenthood and related aspects. Sukarya recruited and
trained “peer” or “community educators” who spread the message to
the larger community. In its first phase, the Project has benefited 300
adolescent girls from Tighra, Ghata and Samaspur village.
Kishori Shakti Yojna (supported by Sukarya)

Ongoing Projects
A. Pahal project in Saraswati Kunj Slums Gurgaon supported by
Concern India Foundation and the Bird Group and Hughes Systique
B. Reaching to the urban slums by Sukarya Sehat Centre
C. Physiotherapy Unit – An alternative Treatment
Pahal project in Saraswati Kunj Slums Gurgaon (supported
by Concern India Foundation and The Bird Group and
Hughes Systique)
Pahal project provides health services to the rag pickers, migratory
workers, rickshaw pullers, fruit/vegetable hawkers, domestic help,
etc, that constitute the population living in the Saraswati Kunj slums
in Gurgaon, Haryana. Monthly health
check up of children focuses on health
check up by doctor which includes
growth monitoring of every child (
height and weight), free distribution
of medicines, de worming all children,
follow up of the target children and
their families and referring serious
cases to hospitals. Children are also
counseled about personal health,
hygiene and nutrition.
21. Comprehensive health camps are organized across the intervention
areas, covering preventive, curative and referral services. The camp
provides free consultancy and check-ups by doctors, and also free
medicines. These camps also serve the purpose of advocating healthy
practices through workshops, presentations and informal discussions.
Health education to women, school children and men on nutrition,
personal health and hygiene, community sanitation, safe deliveries and
immunization by talk shows, documentary films, leaflets and pamphlet
distribution in the community are also part of the camp.
One to one meeting is conducted regularly through household visits
with special focus on pregnant, lactating mothers and adolescents.
This process of individual meeting is an effective method of creating
an understanding about the health issues, immunization and general
awareness about Anaemia.
Reaching to the urban slums by Sukarya Sehat Centre
(supported by Sukarya)
Gurgaon has become a symbol of urban
development during the last decade and
has led to an increase in the peri urban
region. Peri-urban is often referred to as
being the rural fringe areas that surround
cities and that bear the brunt of urban
expansion. Sums in Gurgaon are uniformly
characterized by inadequate provision of
basic infrastructure and public services
necessary to sustain health, such as water,
sanitation, and drainage. These people
22. have no financial resources to receive even basic health care facilities.
“Better health–better society“is the one line statement of Sukarya.
So, in order to strengthen its statement, the Sukarya Sehat Centre was
inaugurated in 2005 in Sukarya’s premises at Sushant lok.
Since then, the Sehat Centre has been doing exemplary work and is well
known for its service to poor and needy people. Sukarya is providing
basic health care facilities through the sehat centre, including check-up,
diagnosis and free medicine. Referrals are also provided for specialized
treatment as and when required. The occasion is also used for advocacy
measures and hence interactive workshops, informative presentations
by doctors and a range of simple messages for better health. Individual
counseling of people on one to one basis is also done about healthy
practices, hygiene etc. Health card is maintained for each family.
Physiotherapy Unit – An Alternative
Treatment (supported by Sukarya)
The Physiotherapy Unit was started on 15
August, 2005, and operates in the premises
of Sukarya. The unit caters to 200 patients
from rural and urban areas per month on
average. t as een unctioning uccessfully

for the last three years. The unit is open
five days a week from 9.30 am to 5.30
pm. We have a well motivated team that
consists of development professionals, a
physiotherapist, volunteers and a support
staff who execute their tasks in an efficient
manner. We serve almost 200 patients in a
0
23. month. We use our organization’s vehicle to bring marginalized people
into the physiotherapy center. Our main target is the people residing
in the slums of Gurgaon. Neemtala, Nalapur, Saraswati Kunj, Sector-
56 and Phase – V are the chief beneficiaries. Our main focus is on
the women who remain work continuously through the day domestic
help, at farms as labourers and at home. They suffer from various
problems such as back pain, cervical and body pain. The ignorance of
these problems may lead to serious ailments such as a disc prolapse
or spondylolisthesis.

Cleanliness Drive (supported by Sukarya)
Sukarya initiated a cleanliness drive in the
slum of DLF Phase-V in 2004. The objective
was to educate and motivate the slum
dwellers to keep their vicinity clean for
preventing recurrent outbreaks of diseases
like malaria, cholera, TB , dengue. We
regularly educate the slum dwellers on the
importance and ways of maintaining hygiene
and sanitation.
Advocacy/Outreach Campaigns (supported by Sukarya)
Advocacy campaign is a crucial aspect in our effort to promote good
health. ukarya ursues ggressive EC ampaigns or ll ts ajor rojects.
S p a I c f a i m P
Audio-visual mediums like street plays, workshops, printed materials,
25. music, painting competition, documentaries
are used to conduct the advocacy drive.
Street theatre has proved to be an extremely
useful medium for disseminating information
and knowledge to an essentially illiterate and
uninformed audience.
In 2006, under the Anaemia Intervention
Campaign, street plays were performed in
all the 10 Project villages by a theatre group
from the NGO, Deepalaya. The main
objective of the street play was to create
awareness on Anaemia among the community
with a special focus on the target group
i.e. the pregnant women, lactating mothers and the adolescent girls.
In 2008 Sukarya undertook an advocacy campaign through the medium
of street play titled ‘Hamari Bitiya’ to sensitize parents and community
about women’s rights, gender discrimination and its consequences. An
impact assessment was undertaken through another play called “Aaj Ki
Adalat” to assess changes in perception, knowledge and attitude of the
community elders.
In the year 2008-09 Sukarya produced a film Jab Jago Tab Savera under
the advocacy campaign for “The Reduction in the prevalence of Anaemia
– An important factor of Maternal mortality and morbidity”, facilitated
the broadcast of the message for the reduction of Anaemia in many
districts of Haryana through 92.7 FM Channel. Sukarya also published a
number of IEC materials out which “Prabhavshali Vyanjan Vidhian”- Iron
rich recipe book was popular and well accepted by the community.
