Pushti
Project Pushti was an integrated initiative dedicated to transforming nutrition, health, and sanitation (WASH) standards across 17 villages in the Nabha block of Patiala, Punjab. Funded by GSK-CH’s Mission Health, the project went beyond surface-level interventions to address the root causes of undernutrition, in the communities where it mattered most.
We combine community centric solutions, collaborative partnerships, and data informed approaches to empower local stakeholders and enhance existing systems. By focusing on continuous monitoring, capacity building, and adaptive planning, we ensure long-term, sustainable improvements that create lasting impact.
1.
Strengthening Systems & Advocacy
By engaging stakeholders from the state to the district level and bringing everyone to a common platform, we ensured that health services are not just available, but efficient.
2.
Enhancing Service Delivery
Improved access and awareness across key intervention areas — nutritional support (diet diversity, balanced nutrition, and colostrum feeding), medical essentials (immunization, IFA supplementation, and WIFS), and family health (exclusive breastfeeding, birth spacing, and institutional deliveries).
3.
Community-Led Change
Project Pushti drove behavior change by training frontline workers (ASHA, AWW, and ANM), engaging local leaders and elected representatives, and empowering adolescent girls as future nutrition advocates.
