Due to a high migration rate in Jhabua (52%), a large number of children could not be screened. Since ChildFund India has a long-term presence in the district and is also implementing livelihood interventions to promote food security to combat poverty and curb outward migration, the project was also able to leverage its ongoing livelihood interventions supporting 120 families for poultry farming.
Traditional family practices were a major roadblock, especially the practice of discarding the colostrum. However, intensive family counselling resulted in a decrease in these traditional practices.
