These Mamata Gharas prevent child malnutrition (Outlook Poshan) 

Outlook Poshan published an article on cheche, the name for daycare in India. One area’s cheche is called Mamata Gharas. An IFPRI study that took place in Odisha has made significant progress in reducing child undernutrition. According to an IFPRI report, Odisha had better nutrition outcomes, such as stunting levels, and performed better in terms of immediate determinants than wealthier states. The study also found that the crèche workers are able to connect with the locals and influence change. The community’s response to the cheches and uptake of these centres has so far been encouraging.
