Hindustan Zinc launches health awareness campaign in Rajasthan and Uttarakhand

Hindustan Zinc Limited conducted a month-long health awareness campaign across its operational areas in Rajasthan and Uttarakhand to mark National Nutrition Month. Under the ‘Mera Gaon, Swasth Gaon’ (My Village, Healthy Village) initiative, the project reached over 1,540 villagers, including more than 1,061 women and adolescent girls.

The campaign focused on improving nutrition, maternal and child health, and preventive healthcare services. Key topics included the importance of the first 1,000 days of a child's life, anemia prevention, breastfeeding, hygiene, and balanced diets. Specific guidance was provided on iron and calcium supplements, as well as the consumption of local seasonal foods such as millets, pulses, and seasonal vegetables.

The initiative was implemented in collaboration with Panchayati Raj institutions, community health officers, the Integrated Child Development Services, the education department, and various frontline health workers to strengthen the reach of government nutrition schemes.
