Interventions

HEALTH (AAROGYA)

HCL Samuday aims to reduce maternal and infant mortality through childhood nutrition,
and mother and child care. To that end, we assessed a range of health facilities in terms of
infrastructure adequacy, equipment availability and usage, availability and management
of essential drugs and supplies, manpower availability and capacity, service delivery and
recordkeeping. The focus is now on working to strengthen the healthcare delivery system with
technically competent, quality providers at all levels.

AGRICULTURE (KRISHI)
HCL Samuday is helping farmers learn new techniques that help reduce cost of cultivation,
improve production quality and quantity, and raise income levels through agricultural extension,
crop diversification, improvement of practice in traditional crops, promotion of community
institutions like farmer’s clubs. The intervention also focuses on the market appeal of the produce
keeping in mind crop rotation and demand analysis.

WATER AND SANITATION (AMRIT)
HCL Samuday addresses both infrastructure and behavior change issues by providing clean
drinking water, eliminating open defecation, and creating safe sanitation facilities in public
institutions like primary schools. A community-led approach is being used to build appropriate
toilets and overcome any behavioral challenges to creating open defecation-free gram
panchayats.

LIVELIHOODS (AJIVIKA)
HCL Samuday is working in various ways to enable local communities to learn new skills
and improve incomes. This includes supporting self-help groups under the National Rural
Livelihood Mission, youth skill and entrepreneurial development, and more inclusive and
efective implementation of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme
(MGNREGS).
