I-India provides three balanced, nutritious meals a day to the children living in its homes. It also distributes food at the Vocational Training and School on Wheels centres.

In addition to this cross-project service, the organisation is involved in the Poshan Child Nutrition program in the Tonk District, 100 km south of Jaipur. I-India provides capacity-building services to 233 Anganwari village health centres. We train and advise staff on the tracking of malnutrition, thus increasing the effectiveness of the government’s existing nutrition programme for 0-5 year old children.
Over 33,000 children are benefited by this work.

This program is funded by Unicef and the State of Rajasthan.

Breastfeeding Campaign

From 1996 I-India has been one of 26 members of the Breastfeeding Promotion Network of Rajasthan. The campaign promotes the beneficial effects of breastfeeding and is a great success. For more information see www.breastfeedingculture.com.

Janshala Street Schools

From 1996-2004 I-India participated in the state-wide Janshala Program. The program brought informal education to disadvantaged children living in slums who otherwise would have no chance of going to school. I-India operated 16 schools, serving 700 children every day.
