of a CARE India Integrated Nutrition and

Health Program, SROUT KORBA is now a

and -led, and while being implemented,

strengthen the capacity of the stakeholders,

families and individuals so they can be

changemakers for their hamlets or for the

community. Its interventions are tuned to

always be relevant and use elements which

community can accept, adopt and practice,

transforming the lives of beneficiaries.

different areas at cluster level. e group

soon became a thriving hub of information

as women began to share their learnings,

best practices, innovations in their kitchen

gardens and new recipes.
