EMPOWERING WOMEN, STRENGTHENING FAMILIES

 

Shakti Organisation, through its committed Maternity Waiting Home (MWH) team in Kashipur Block, Rayagada, is proud to support the ongoing Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar Abhiyan (SNSPA) from 17 September to 2 October 2025. The campaign aims to improve women’s health and nutrition through early disease screening, maternal care, and community awareness.

In Kashipur block, Shakti’s MWH team is playing a critical coordination and implementation role, working alongside government health officials, ASHAs, and Anganwadi workers. They are mobilizing women from remote villages for screening camps, conducting awareness sessions, and ensuring timely referrals

More than just a health facility, the MWH under Shakti Organisation has become a trusted platform for health education, community empowerment, and access to life-saving services for underserved women in tribal regions.

This campaign is not just about health — it’s about equity, inclusion, and dignity for every woman. Shakti Organisation is honored to support this mission in volunteer partnership with the Government of Odisha.

Greening Lives Through Millets

 

Shakti Organisation is proudly leading the Sree Anna Abhiyan in the picturesque landscapes of Ramanaguda Block, Rayagada district, Odisha, marking another milestone in its decades-long commitment to empowering tribal farmers. This transformative initiative promotes the System of Millets Intensification (SMI), encouraging the adoption of sustainable, climate-resilient, and nutrition-focused agricultural practices. Covering 10 Gram Panchayats, 145 villages, and engaging 1,820 farmers across 600 hectares, the project is creating a lasting impact on both livelihoods and the environment.

Across the project area, farmers are actively involved in preparing their lands, removing weeds, and nurturing their crops with organic methods as per SMI guidelines. The once-dry fields now flourish with lush green millet plants, symbolizing renewal, resilience, and the spirit of collective growth.

Beyond boosting crop productivity, millet cultivation has evolved into a powerful movement for food security, nutritional well-being, and economic empowerment among the tribal communities of Rayagada. By blending traditional wisdom with modern techniques, Shakti Organisation continues to lead the way in restoring ecological balance and promoting self-reliant rural livelihoods — truly greening lives through millets.
