Panchayat Member, Urmilaben Chauhan along with mothers who have got their rights

Many women of Devgadh Baria taluka suffer from low hemoglobin, sometimes even lower than seven. In fact, it will not be a tall claim to make if it is said that Urmilaben helped in reducing mother-child mortality in the village. Therefore, it is very important that pregnant women and lactating mothers get their due rights. However, it was not available. Often they had to hear from government offices that sufficient funds are not available. And this was the case in many villages of Baria. Devgadh Mahila Sangathan has taken up this issue with block and district level officials too and have done protest meetings to represent the pressing issue. Urmilaben joined this protest meeting with pregnant women and lactating mothers and helped them accessing their rights. This way Urmilaben is contributing in a big way to reduce mother mortality.
