Nutrition camps held as part of the Pradhan Mantri Janman Yojana are motivating backward tribes in Chhattisgarh's Jashpur district to adopt a healthier lifestyle, an official communiqué said on Sunday.
The officials are holding nutrition camps called "suposhan chaupals" for the special tribe Pahari Korwa as well as 94 villages in Birhor area. Awareness is being created by giving information about other schemes as well. In view of the biting cold, the administration is also distributing food items and sweaters. The goal of this scheme is to improve the social and economic condition of the special backward tribe community. This also includes providing clean drinking water, housing, roads, mobile medical units, construction of hostels, nutrition through Anganwadis, availability of Internet and mobile services, skill development initiatives and more.
