The PAUSTIK Program review meeting focused on the state-wide progress of our community resilience initiative. Attended by three Coordinators and 13 Animators from our implementing partners—BDDS-Ballari, BDSSS-Belagavi, and SSDS-Kalaburgi—the session allowed partners to share reports, field challenges, and localized solutions for child nutrition.
