Spandan Samaj Seva Samiti has been proactively involved in curbing the malnutrition prevailing among the Korku U5 children. Over the years the realization has dawned that malnutrition is a multifaceted issue and hence Spandan has adopted a “layered” model that not only seeks to alleviate the present suffering of malnourished children but attempts to address underlying factors as well.

It includes helping the victim families to access more food and nutrition entitlements, tide over peak hunger times and diversify their diets and revert back gradually to traditional crops and millets that once was the backbone of community nutrition. With it nearly gone the malnutrition has gnawed at their susceptible children. The pilots have been started to show a way for appropriate care of children below 3 years.
