Mukhyamantri Sampoorna Pushti Yojana, an Odisha state government initiative, is designed to improve nutrition among women, children, and adolescent girls.

But real change doesn’t come from policy alone; it takes a community to turn intent into action.

That’s where the 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘆𝗮𝘁-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗞𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗮 comes in.

Here, adolescent girls step into a space that feels safe, open, and their own; not as beneficiaries, but as active participants in their well-being.

They ask questions they’ve held back out of fear and hesitation about health, nutrition, and their changing bodies. And for many, it’s the first time they truly understand their biological system.

Haemoglobin levels are checked. Iron tablets and nutrition kits are distributed. But beyond the services, something deeper happens; awareness takes root.

Because impact isn’t just what reaches their hands, but what stays in their minds.

These Kishori melas bridge the gap between access and adoption; turning schemes into practical change. And sometimes, all it takes is one such gathering… to spark many new beginnings.

Special thanks to our 𝗡𝗚𝗢 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘄𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 for their support in facilitating this effort at the grassroots.
