Help Us Make Karjat Malnutrition-Free with Project Poshan!
Malnutrition is a silent crisis affecting countless lives, especially in rural areas like Karjat. Karjat is a well-known tourist destination that is familiar to many of you.

Now, we need your support to continue this progress, bring that number down even further, and transform the villages of Karjat into a model of health and nutrition.
