GRAM SABHA PARTICIPATIONIn order to decide how to use the available resources optimally in ways desired by the people and to bene�t the poorest in the village through direct democratic and participatory planning, the State government decided to conduct the Gram Shaba in all the panchayats on 1st May 2018 in Tamil Nadu. EKAM participated in the Gram Sabha through the District Coordinators in their home town. We participated in places across Tamil Nadu and covered areas like Administration & Budget, Basic Facilities, Health Awareness, Village Panchayat plan, NRGES Work (100 Days), Infrastructure issues, Natural Resource Management.

Later, the laser surgery was supported by Radhatri Nethralaya in Chennai.
CARITAS-UDHAYAM ECO DRR PROJECTThis project works to reduce infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in 7 �ood a�ected districts of Tamilnadu namely Kancheepuram, Thiruvallur, Cuddalore, Ariyalur, Selam, Dharmapuri and Vellore. We conducted Capacity building and training program for VHWSNC’s and conducted the MCH Training program for SSS o�ce workers & SHG Members. We covered the topics like Govt. Schemes – 108, 104; CM Insurance Schemes; Food & Nutrition; Kitchen Garden.
FARMER TRAININGThis project intended to change the Natural farming methods for the farmers in Tamil Nadu. In this quarter we conducted 15 such training camps for farmers and discussed the topics of Natural Farming, Shivyog, Bore well system, Saving Water. Training was given by Mr.Kannan, Farming Consultant.
LIVELIHOOD PROJECTCommunity members who take care of their community's healthcare were incentivised through livelihood choices in this quarter. Connecting organic farmers and the community became the baseline for livelihood development. Supply of Safe and nutritive food to the community through micro enterprises from block level to district level is the action plan. So far we have identi�ed 140 farmers in 20 districts of Tamil Nadu. Once we reach a considerable size of farmers, we will organise meetings and form speci�c strategies for each district to make the safe and nutritive food reach the local community. It’s a preventive health care model.

LIVELIHOOD PROJECT
MENTOR NURSES TRAINING PROJECT– FUNDED BY RGMFE (RG MANUDHANE FOUNDATION FOR EXCELLENCE)
The state of Tamilnadu has good health care indices but its Neonatal, Infant and Maternal Mortality Rates have remained stagnant over the past ten years. One of the key issues identi�ed with regards to this problem is that health care facilities within government settings in Tamil Nadu face an acute shortage of skilled healthcare professionals, particularly well trained nurses.
In 2012, a Government Order to designate Mentor Nurse at the state level and district for training 4000 nurses was passed by the Government of TN. This set a platform to provide a mandate for signi�-cant intervention in healthcare, particularly maternal and infant care at the village level. Selected from the districts, the mentor nurses were identi�ed to train; work with the nurses in PHCs across TN as an interface between the District and the Block Level Hospital authorities, thereby leading to improved nursing delivery.
The project, funded by RGMFE (RG Manudhane Foundation for Excellence) which is run under the auspices of Directorate of Public Health, Tamil Nadu aims to build the capacity, empower and 184 mentor nurses from the Government health centers and enable them to take the knowledge and skills forward to the existing framework of nurses stationed within all the Government Hospitals in the state.
Visits conducted by Mentor Staff Nurses (April to June 2018)

SUCCESS STORIES FOR THIS QUARTERBABY OF PARAMESHWARIPeriaswamy from Villupuram district works as a casual labour for a meagre monthly salary. His wife Parameshwari had an institutional delivery of a female at JIPMER. On day 2 of life the child was diagnosed with Dextrocardia / DORV / VSD/ Pulmonary Atresia with non con�uent PA.
Immediately the child was shifted to MIOT, where Dr. Robert Coelho – Chief Paediatric Cardiac Surgeon planned high risk palliative shunt surgery. Since Periaswamy was the only earning member his income was not su�cient to a�ord for the child’s treatment. Knowing their poor situation Ekam came forward to save the child’s life by contributing sum of Rs. 50,000/- as a partial payment.
On 24/5/2018 the child was discharged from the hospital and is now living a normal life.
EKAM DONATION TO SALEM MOHAN KUMARAMANGALAM MEDICAL COLLEGEEKAM received a request letter from Dr. Kumarvel, Nodal o�cer from Salem Mohan Kumaramangalam Government Hospital, Salem, on 27th March 18 for a Washing Machine. The hospital sta� is �nding it di�cult to manage the laundry for babies and mothers, because sometimes it takes more than 2 to 3 days in the washing line. Also it becomes very di�cult to maintain strict sterilization in SNCU. In response to this request, Ekam donated a fully automatic Whirlpool washing machine to the hospital on 17th April 2018.
BABY OF CHITHRA
Baby of Chithra (female child) was diagnosed with Extreme Preterm 28 Weeks/ Very Low Birth Weight / Probable Sepsis/ Apnea of Prematurity/ Left Lung Collapse/Anaemia of Prematurity / PDA/ Perinatal Depression for which initially she was treated at Chengalpet Medical College.
