Adolescent Health Education
 
Adolescent health education is an area of special attention. Experts discuss psychological and social aspects of growing up such as the physical growth, the hormonal changes that occur along with the obvious physical changes, the internal organ growth, menstruation, conception and methods of contraception. The feedback from students indicates a definite need to continue this orientation and counseling activity.
 

“I learnt many new things about my own body; I find it very relevant to life”.

 

“We are thankful for sharing with us this much needed information which even our parents could not share with us”.

 

“This workshop has reduced stress & pressure I always felt about growing up.”

 
“I will share this information with my friends as well”.
 

“Till date nobody else has shared these details with us, parents & teachers would just give suggestions or scold us for many things, but would never explain anything.”
 
We have so far organized 20 programmes in three schools and a Jr. College in Vasind and covered almost 1650 students.
 
Mid-Day Meal Project
Malnourishment is a major concern for the JSW Foundation. It has associated with the Akshaya Patra Foundation and the ISKCON FORD Relief Foundation in providing nutritious mid-day meal in school in select areas in Karnataka and Maharashtra. In Karnataka 5 acres of land has been allocated to the foundation to set up their kitchen. This proposes to reach out to over a lakh student. Mrs Sangita Jindal has recently been invited on the Advisory Board of the Akshaya Patra Foundation.
