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.
Thatโs 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.
