Hello,,
Today, fourth day of our survey we went to pillaiyakuppam again and we continued our survey. But there was something special today. We were supposed to talk to the anganwadi teacher and collect secondary data for our survey, but only 2 were supposed to go . Soumiya priyadharshini and myself, we jumped to this opportunity and volunteered to do the anganwadi survey. We were so glad we got this opportunity, not everyone gets it😜😜😜. It was same old questionnaire for others whereas today it was so special for us, we prepared our own questionnaire ( OK OK not all of it we prepared, Pruthu sir helped us aloootttt) . We interviewed Mrs.Kavithamani, the teacher in anganwadI. We got a lot of information from her. There are 13 records totally which she maintains some of which are mid day meals record, pregnant mother record, lactating mother record, children note, immunisation , stock note , visitors note, etc. Let me share a few main points that attracted me more about the village from which she said. The most common reason for death there is alcohol consumption by men. They recored 10 Tuberculosis since last year. Mostly no one from the village screens for hypertension and diabetes mellitus, unless something is wrong with them, because they expect some injection to be given to them when going to the hospital, and they don't want medicines to be given if they are diagnosed with hypertension or diabetes mellitus. I was wrong in my last blog saying people don't do
physical exercise and save money. Yes... yes they do physical exercise and even they do save money, they put in the banks and the reason they hid this from us because they were expecting we would give them something. No one is seen obesed there. According to the teacher she said there will be 5 to 8 deaths per year and 13 to 15 births per year. There are still more to be shared. It will be disussed later through our presentation. This is it for now.
Thank you for your patience

ReplyDeleteSay, how does this food reach the children if they don't turn up ?
They come with their parents and either eat there or take it home sir. That's what the teacher said.
