Super grans give vital boost to local economy and baby nutrition
Local self help groups, often run by grandmothers like Malati (pictured), supply nutritional food supplements to the community health centres.
Such initiatives increase employment and give a boost to the local economy, as well as providing vulnerable mums-to-be, babies and children across the state with vital nutrition.
In the last three years, the Odisha government has ensured nearly 50,000 more vulnerable children receive nutritional services.
Background
Britain is working with the Government of Odisha, one of India's poorest states, and UNICEF to save the lives of thousands of mums and babies.
