A screening camp was organised at Jnana Prabodhini's Gram Vikas Vibhag Centre at Velhe on 21st November 2016. This was being conducted at the Jeevan Jyoti Centre, which is run as a part of the CSR activity by Sterlite Industries.
We spoke to more than 30 women and girls who were undergoing a certificate course in Nursing and their mentor, Ms Shiralkar, who is a retired nurse herself. We wanted to spread the word about genetic screening and its importance, while making this an educational initiative.
