Mrs. Shalini Jadhav from Sakhya gave a lecture on
the importance of breast feeding, health care of women and adolescent as well.
Addressing the gatherings Mrs. Shalini highlighted the importance of basic
health issues and said that to promote the sale of baby food products like cerelac
advertisements are given , more often it is ignored that breast feeding is the only ideal nourishment
for infants. She further said that a healthy mother can give birth to a healthy
child so the women should care for their
health from childhood rather than giving special attention during pregnancy.

adolescent girls about health benefits for children.A case was referred to
Sakhya after the programme. On 9th August a domestic violence victim
came to Skhay for counseling.
