Preserving and Uplifting the Korku Community of India

• After careful research and reviewing, Spandan came into existence in 2002 in order to focus mainly on these four interventions - Nutrition, Food Security, Behavior Change and Preservation of Korku Culture.
• Activities of Spandan Samaj Seva Samiti - i) Community based Malnutrition Program: The intention behind this program is to prevent malnourishment in Korku communities. The NGO conducts regular follow ups, nutritional counselling, providing necessary nourishment supplements, etc. ii) Women Empowerment: Spandan has initiated several Common Interest Groups (CIGs) to encourage and support them for developing right perspectives, skill building and grievance handling. iii) Biodiversity Conservation: Promoting backyard nutrition gardens, purchase of local ingredients, use of organic pesticides, holding sensitization workshops for farmers are some of the key activities under this program.
• In the spirit of preserving Korku's traditional culture and its language Spandan hosts campaigns in order to popularize it.
