Ramgarh, Jan 21: Haemoglobin testing camps were organized on Friday by Krishi Gram Vikas Kendra (KGVK) in 14 villages of Ramgarh district.
The initiative was taken under the Samagra Gram Vikas Project under the CSR programme of HDFC Bank.
Hemoglobin test of adolescent girls from these villages was done who participated in the camp in huge numbers; Bhaipur (28), Jamsing (78), Usra (44), Godatu (39), Budhakhukhara (30), Lolo (30), Gandke (46), Dohkatu (28), Kander (34), Bankheta (30), Siur (52), Kachudag (25), Sidhwarkala (30) and Kusumbha (27).
In comparison to past camps, there was an increase in the number of participants this time. The key reason is that the project has included a regular nutritional awareness programme, the usage of a nutrition garden, and the exchange of information about nutritious foods with adolescent girls to help prevent anaemia.
Moonga, Red Saag, Papaya, Dal, Milk, Banana, Egg, Madua, and Black Cumin Paddy, among other foods, should be utilised to improve haemoglobin levels, according to project manager Soman Mahato, who also stated that the project should be used for adolescent girls.
“We are always on the lookout for physical and mental development of adolescent girls in the region,” he said.
Ramesh Kumar Mahato, Karthik Kumar, Sumitra Devi, Monika Kumari, and all the village coordinators of the project participated in making the camp a success.
