1. Overview of Child Welfare Initiatives
In December 2025, the Vivek Sanjivani unit of the Ramakrishna Mission Home of Service, Varanasi, launched a holistic child welfare drive across the Mirzapur and Azamgarh districts. This initiative was designed to combat malnutrition, spark educational interest, and promote personal hygiene among children in underserved rural areas. By providing a comprehensive package of food, learning materials, and hygiene kits, the program aims to dismantle fundamental barriers to childhood development.
