Health initiatives (Aarogya) focus on addressing malnutrition in children between 0 and 6 years of age. Apart from providing nutritional and dietary supplements to the affected children, TML focuses on inducing behavioural changes in communities, especially young mothers and parents, through awareness sessions and by providing ante-natal and post-natal services. In addition, it carries out curative healthcare services where the communities are served through diagnosis, administration of generics medicines and consultations. Access to safe drinking water is another issue that TML's initiative Amrutdhara aims to address.

Impact of health initiatives

TML's health programme has benefitted 3,81,437 people. Over 90% of the malnourished children are now in the healthy category and there has been a positive change in the knowledge, attitude and behaviour of the communities on health. TML strengthened the institutional delivery mechanism by enhancing capacities of Government health personnel on one hand, while mentoring communities to take ownership of programmes on the other.
