Speaking on the achievement, Mr. Sourav Roy, Chief CSR, Tata Steel, said “MANSI reflects Tata Steel’s ethos of ensuring the wellbeing of communities around our areas of influence. In the last one decade that the program has been operational, it has emerged as a remarkable example of collaboration, cross team learning, of empowering women in the community and most importantly, of the overall trust that our communities have reposed in us.”

MANSI engages in enhancing the capacity of the village-based healthcare system (embedded in villages through government health volunteers called ASHAs or Sahiyas in Jharkhand) by training them on parameters which would address the root causes and underlying reasons for neonate and infant mortality. Through this, the program intends to reduce neonatal (newborn of 0-28 days) and infant (child up to 1 year of age) mortality in 10 blocks of Jharkhand and 2 blocks of Odisha (nearly 2.2 lakh households).

A total of 384 poster entries were received by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MHFW) across the country. After initial shortlisting, followed by two rounds of filtrations as per the prescribed criteria of the jury, 76 posters were invited for detailed submissions.
