In Shevdi Bajirao village of Loha taluka, Nanded, lives Mrs. Jyoti Satwa Lute, a young mother expecting her second child. During the early months of her pregnancy, Jyoti faced many challenges – she believed heavy household work was normal and knew little about nutrition, iron and calcium supplements, or the importance of rest.

Thatโ€™s when Arogya Sakhi Rohini Vishwambhar Chapate,  began visiting her regularly. Through patient counseling, Rohini helped Jyoti and her family understand how vital nutrition and rest are for a healthy pregnancy. Jyoti began:

-Eating green vegetables, pulses, jaggery, and protein-rich foods

-Taking her iron and calcium tablets regularly

-Getting timely HB tests

-Drinking enough water and avoiding heavy work

With this support – and financial assistance from the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) – Jyoti took charge of her health. Her haemoglobin levels improved, and her confidence grew.

Today, Jyoti looks forward to a safe delivery and continues to inspire other women in her village to follow healthy pregnancy practices. She has become a role model for maternal health and empowerment in her community.
