m drought and is inhabited mainly by poor landless labor. Malnutrition among children was prevalent and the quality of school education low when the programme implementation started. Focus of the programme is especially in reducing children's malnurtition.
 During the programme implementation, agriculture – particularly organic farming – is developed. This improves food security in the area. Community people are mobilized and capacitated for collaboration to develop the area. The health status of childre
