Indu Huike is the first woman sarpanch of Pavnar Panchayat; a village in the Wardha district of Maharashtra. As the leader of the VHNCC or Village Health and Nutrition Co-ordination Committee; she ensures that nutritious care and advice is provided to children in need of it. And there are many such children – malnutritioned children and underweight babies are the norm here rather than the exception.
As a solution, Indu Huike turns to an old Indian recipe – ladoos made of jaggery and groundnuts – these delicious ladoos are made and delivered by the sarpanch and her assistant. She says that after a few weeks of eating the laddoos she can see a definite improvement in the child’s health and weight.
