&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;50-year-old Saraswati Kaushik&amp;rsquo;s day starts at 5 am. After preparing food for the family and an hour or two of farm work, she goes for home visits in her &amp;lsquo;para&amp;rsquo; (locality) to check on pregnant mothers, infants, kids below five years of age, elderly people in need of treatment and those who are ill &amp;mdash; technically everybody in the para.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;She educates women on breastfeeding, nutrition for babies, care during pregnancy, checks for malaria and tuberculosis cases and refers malnourished and ill people to the health centre.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Kaushik also has to ensure that women are taken to a hospital for delivery and children are timely immunised. For her para, people in Gochiya village in Chattisgarh&amp;rsquo;s Kabirdham district, Kaushik is no less than a doctor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the last two years, when COVID-19 engulfed the country and the whole world worked from home, she went from house to house telling people how to protect themselves and ensuring the quarantine and safety of the returning migrant workers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;When the COVID-19 vaccine was introduced in March 2021, the responsibility to have the entire village vaccinated fell on her shoulders and she was out of home from 10 am to 7 pm &amp;mdash; like any office-goer. Except that she does not get a salary like one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;When Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh in the year 2000, one of the problems staring in the face was the run-down health infrastructure. Recognising its inability to reach the population in the interiors, the state came up with the concept of selecting women volunteers who would act as a bridge between the people and public health facilities. The women health volunteers were called Mitanin.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Chattisgarh, thus, became the first state to implement the concept of community health workers &amp;mdash; which in 2005 was adopted by the central covernment as the Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) programme.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;50-year-old Saraswati Kaushik&amp;rsquo;s day starts at 5 am. After preparing food for the family and an hour or two of farm work, she goes for home visits in her &amp;lsquo;para&amp;rsquo; (locality) to check on pregnant mothers, infants, kids below five years of age, elderly people in need of treatment and those who are ill &amp;mdash; technically everybody in the para.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;She educates women on breastfeeding, nutrition for babies, care during pregnancy, checks for malaria and tuberculosis cases and refers malnourished and ill people to the health centre.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Kaushik also has to ensure that women are taken to a hospital for delivery and children are timely immunised. For her para, people in Gochiya village in Chattisgarh&amp;rsquo;s Kabirdham district, Kaushik is no less than a doctor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the last two years, when COVID-19 engulfed the country and the whole world worked from home, she went from house to house telling people how to protect themselves and ensuring the quarantine and safety of the returning migrant workers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;When the COVID-19 vaccine was introduced in March 2021, the responsibility to have the entire village vaccinated fell on her shoulders and she was out of home from 10 am to 7 pm &amp;mdash; like any office-goer. Except that she does not get a salary like one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;When Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh in the year 2000, one of the problems staring in the face was the run-down health infrastructure. Recognising its inability to reach the population in the interiors, the state came up with the concept of selecting women volunteers who would act as a bridge between the people and public health facilities. The women health volunteers were called Mitanin.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Chattisgarh, thus, became the first state to implement the concept of community health workers &amp;mdash; which in 2005 was adopted by the central covernment as the Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) programme.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;She educates women on breastfeeding, nutrition for babies, care during pregnancy, checks for malaria and tuberculosis cases and refers malnourished and ill people to the health centre.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Kaushik also has to ensure that women are taken to a hospital for delivery and children are timely immunised. For her para, people in Gochiya village in Chattisgarh&amp;rsquo;s Kabirdham district, Kaushik is no less than a doctor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the last two years, when COVID-19 engulfed the country and the whole world worked from home, she went from house to house telling people how to protect themselves and ensuring the quarantine and safety of the returning migrant workers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;When the COVID-19 vaccine was introduced in March 2021, the responsibility to have the entire village vaccinated fell on her shoulders and she was out of home from 10 am to 7 pm &amp;mdash; like any office-goer. Except that she does not get a salary like one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;When Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh in the year 2000, one of the problems staring in the face was the run-down health infrastructure. Recognising its inability to reach the population in the interiors, the state came up with the concept of selecting women volunteers who would act as a bridge between the people and public health facilities. The women health volunteers were called Mitanin.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Chattisgarh, thus, became the first state to implement the concept of community health workers &amp;mdash; which in 2005 was adopted by the central covernment as the Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) programme.&lt;/p&gt;

Mitanins: The women who kept Chhattisgarh safe during the COVID-19 pandemic -Ravleen Kaur

-Down to Earth The administration, however, has not compensated other Mitanins’ work adequately and has thus been misusing their sense of social commitment 50-year-old Saraswati Kaushik’s day starts at 5 am. After preparing food for the family and an hour or two of farm work, she goes for home visits in her ‘para’ (locality) to check on pregnant mothers, infants, kids below five years of age, elderly people in need of treatment and those who are ill — technically everybody in the para. She educates women on breastfeeding, nutrition for babies, care during pregnancy, checks for malaria and tuberculosis cases and refers malnourished and ill people to the health centre. Kaushik also has to ensure that women are taken to a hospital for delivery and children are timely immunised. For her para, people in Gochiya village in Chattisgarh’s Kabirdham district, Kaushik is no less than a doctor. In the last two years, when COVID-19 engulfed the country and the whole world worked from home, she went from house to house telling people how to protect themselves and ensuring the quarantine and safety of the returning migrant workers. When the COVID-19 vaccine was introduced in March 2021, the responsibility to have the entire village vaccinated fell on her shoulders and she was out of home from 10 am to 7 pm — like any office-goer. Except that she does not get a salary like one. When Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh in the year 2000, one of the problems staring in the face was the run-down health infrastructure. Recognising its inability to reach the population in the interiors, the state came up with the concept of selecting women volunteers who would act as a bridge between the people and public health facilities. The women health volunteers were called Mitanin. Chattisgarh, thus, became the first state to implement the concept of community health workers — which in 2005 was adopted by the central covernment as the Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) programme.
