The project is about to broadcast a radio series on Child Marriage and Girls Education ,developed by UNICEF and respective Community radios. Child marriage ends childhood. It negatively influences children's rights to education, health and protection. These consequences impact not just the girl directly, but also her family and community. A girl who is married as a child is more likely to be out of school and not earn money and contribute to the community. Higher female literacy rates reduce child mortality. Education lowers crime rates. Girls' education reduces inequality in society. Education empowers marginalised women and helps them build better futures for themselves and their families.

The project is to broadcast a radio series on COVID-19 Specific and sensitive Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) through Community Radio Stations (CRS) during COVID19 Outbreak,developed by UNICEF and Community Radios. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow). Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus experienced mild to moderate respiratory illness and recovered without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face.

The project is to broadcast radio series on Girl Education with support from Room to Read and respective Community Radios. Girls who receive an education are less likely to marry young and more likely to lead healthy, productive lives. They earn higher incomes, participate in the decisions that most affect them, and build better futures for themselves and their families. Girls' education strengthens economies and reduces inequality.

Room to Read works for children in low-income communities by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education through our Literacy Program (LP) and Girls’ Education Program (GEP). We strive to develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children, and support girls to complete secondary school with the relevant life skills to succeed in school and beyond.

Room to Read’s (RtR) Girls’ Education Program (GEP) ensures that girls complete secondary school and have the skills to negotiate key life decisions. In India, since 2004, the program has benefitted over 14000 girls across 7 states- Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Uttarakhand. Over the years, the program has witnessed powerful stories of change, has led to best practices to learn from, and innovative strategies to celebrate and share. Our program reinforces girls’ commitment to their own education, works with girls to develop essential life skills and increases support for girls’ education among their parents, school staff, and communities. We work through a direct implementation model as well as in collaboration with the state government.

The essential Life-skills in general are important for the overall development of the children. It helps them lead life with confidence, improve self-esteem, better communication, realise responsibilities and to understand themselves and others better. Overall, it helps them lead a more empowered life. In the current COVID-19 situation, all of us have faced various odds and so have our girl participants as well as the other girls who are not associated with Room to Read. The main objective behind creating life-skills episodes is to reach out to a larger audience through digital medium and help them in developing an understanding of these life skills.

Vaccine hesitancy is defined as a“delay in acceptance or refusal of safe vaccines despite availability of vaccine services” by the World Health Organisation.Causes of vaccine hesitancy are complex and related to several context-specific factors that change according to location and time and concerning different vaccines.It is also influenced by sociodemographic contexts. According to the WHO’s vaccine hesitancy model, the determinants of vaccine hesitancy are influenced by issues such as complacency, convenience, confidence.Vaccine hesitancy contributes significantly to decreased rates of vaccination among populations and is a key challenge for public health in terms of containing infectious diseases and in pandemic prevention.

The project is about to broadcast a radio series on Covid Vaccination developed by SMART and respective community radios. COVID-19 vaccines are the most effective way to prevent COVID-19. Vaccines can protect us from COVID-19 by preventing us from getting infected at all, and by preventing us from getting sick, ending up in the hospital, or dying – even if we are infected. The introduction of COVID-19 vaccine is a major step towards reducing the spread of the pandemic and further reducing the associated disease and deaths. The COVID-19 vaccine introduction is the world's largest vaccination drive and roll out requires planning at various levels.

The project is to broadcast a radio series on Child Nutrition ,Tuberculosis Disease ,Covid Appropriate Behaviors and Covid Vaccination developed by SMART. Poor diets in early childhood can lead to deficiencies in essential vitamins and nutrients – such as vitamin A deficiency, which weakens children's immunity, increases their risk of blindness and can lead to death from common childhood diseases like diarrhoea. Nutritional awareness and diet quality are two critical factors that significantly impact our overall health and well-being. By increasing our awareness and prioritizing diet quality, we can improve our health, prevent chronic diseases, and lead happier and healthier lives.

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a type of bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It's spread when a person with active TB disease in their lungs coughs or sneezes and someone else inhales the expelled droplets, which contain TB bacteria. There is a need to raise awareness about tuberculosis, including the importance of getting tested, adhering to treatment, and the need for new technologies to address the epidemic.

People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Possible symptoms include: Fever , Cough, Fatigue, Sore throat etc. when in public places, especially if they are having symptoms such as cough, fever etc. to avoid direct droplet contact. Stay at home as much as possible. Avoid physical contact like handshakes, hand holding or hugs. Avoid touching surfaces such as table tops, chairs, door handles etc.

Nutrition is a critical part of health and development. Better nutrition is related to improved infant, child and maternal health, stronger immune systems, safer pregnancy and childbirth, lower risk of non-communicable diseases (such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease), and longevity.
