  • CAPTION: While Cluster Resource Person (CRP) Basavaraju observes, Sunithamma leads her primary school class in enacting a skit called 'Grandmother’s Pride'. This group work exercise taught by The Teacher Foundation (TTF) is especially useful for including children with special needs. Roopa (left), for example, loves acting. She has a learning disability and used to come to class only very irregularly. Now that these activities are included in the lesson plan, she's happy to come much more often.

  • CAPTION: Dr Ram and his colleagues are forming what they call a 'chain of information', so that even if families don’t allow their youth to seek out the services they need in person, friends can pass on the news about what the ARSH clinic can provide. He observes that another problem is that most families think only of educating their boys on what they need, and just think about marrying their girls off. So it’s important to ensure that girls don’t fall through the net. These four girls are part of the discussion group that’s been established in Ghatshila. They have asked Dr Ram to come to the community college where they are studying nearby and take sessions for all the adolescent girls there to ensure they will then access the services they need. They therefore serve as the link between the college and Dr Ram.

  • CAPTION: All schools in Kasaba hobli have ramps for wheelchair users, though few were built for the benefit of disabled students; rather, they were put in place for election purposes, to enable disabled voters to attend polling booths during elections.

  • CAPTION: Shanti Toppo is married. She would like there to be a gap before she has her second child. Health worker Dr Kusum Kumari Bara suggests two options for her, firstly the Copper T, which allows the user to delay pregnancy for a longer period, and secondly the condom, which must be used by her husband. It is stressed that the condom is the only thing that also prevents spread of reproductive tract infections (RTIs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The service provider then suggests that it is a good idea to come back along with her husband, so that he can also understand these things.

During the earliest days following the birth of a child who has (or develops) a disability, parents often struggle to work out what best they can do for him or her, and could use more information and firmer direction. Under the Chamkol programme, such children aged between zero and five and their mothers, expectant mothers and women of child-bearing age will be able to get this through health, wellbeing, development and pre-school programmes run through Early Years' Clubs.

Shyam Bahadur Sonar is therefore suggesting that she should discuss her needs with knowledgeable community members.

  • CAPTION: ARSH Counselor Sarita Kumari Panna explains the use of iron and folic acid tablets to Atosi Shit. Most of the adolescent girls (perhaps 80-90%) in villages like this are anemic. There is large-scale absence of awareness of how to ensure their diets contain iron and folic acid, especially with the rising popularity of fast food while young people are away at school or college. Girls are especially unaware, after their menstrual cycles start, about when they ought to have particular types of nutrition. This often results in menstrual problems and anemia.

  • CAPTION: The final group is listing out the various mental and social changes experienced by adolescents. One of these is the development of attraction to the opposite sex. It is impressed upon participants that this is something natural that happens to everyone, and that it should not be condemned as something 'bad'. Another is that girls start wanting to make themselves appear as beautiful as possible to others. Boys, meanwhile, might like to drive very fast in front of others, or smoke and take drugs. The group is considering the consequences of these things and how they may be addressed. After discussing these things, the groups join together and discuss what they have each found. This then leads to the enactment of role-plays. LOCATION: Ghatshila Community Health Centre (CHC), Purbi Singhbhum (district), Jharkhand (state), India.
