AATA-PATHA :
Aata Paatha- the words conjure up images of happy children having fun while learning. This is the very concept of a unique mobile resource centre that Adamya Chetana started in the year 2003. For children studying in government schools access to resources is low. These children come from economically backward sections of society. Normal childhood activities like messing with paints and colours, sketching with colourful pencils and crayons, playing with modeling clay, creating images on a computer screen, are all luxuries. Aata Paatha has made it possible for these children to do all these and more.

AROGYA CHETANA :
Arogya Chetana is a unique project of Adamya Chetana. Conceived as part of Adamya Chetana’s holistic approach to the development of children, it reaches the children who are part of Annapoorna, our midday meal programme. These children are from underserved sections of society who are unable to access health facilities on account of lack of resources – knowledge, finance, confidence to approach health service providers. Arogya Chetana steps in to fill this gap.

The children suffer from diseases that are result of malnourishment, infections on account of low resistance (especially upper respiratory infections), skin, dental, orthopaedic, eye, and ear, nose, throat problems.
