Women & Child Development

The transformation of Anganwadis into Smart Nandghars with Cairn’s support has revolutionized early childhood care in rural Barmer. These vibrant learning centers now bridge crucial gaps in nutrition, education, and maternal support—strengthening community foundations.

Healthcare

Providing specialized medical services in Barmer was a challenge. With Cairn’s support, two specialist doctors have been stationed at the District Hospital, enabling life-saving surgeries and improved healthcare delivery. Additionally, Cairn supports 62 housekeeping staff, ensuring consistent cleanliness and hygiene in healthcare facilities. Their contribution has greatly enhanced the quality and accessibility of rural health services. Cairn continued support since 2013 has really helped in strengthening healthcare services in district Barmer.

Voices of Our Community

Women empowerment:

Coming from a conservative family, I never imagined stepping outside my village, let alone representing my work on big platforms. Managing daily expenses and raising four children was a constant challenge. Everything changed when Cairn introduced the Jiji Bai Self-Help Group. Along with nine other women, I received training in making millet cookies and we learned branding, marketing, costing, and teamwork, which turned us into confident micro-entrepreneurs. Thanks to Cairn, I got the opportunity to attend national events, meeting ministers and leaders which gave me the confidence to break free from the age-old stereotypes. Earlier, bajra was only used to make rotis. Now, we have developed products like bajra cookies, namkeens, and more. Today, I earn 4,000–5,000 every month, and together, our group has earned 2.5 lakh in the past year.

Before becoming part of the Borchapori Handloom Centre, I was weaving at home with very limited income, just 5,000 a year and had no exposure to markets or modern techniques. Cairn's support through training programs, raw material assistance, and connection to government schemes like Swanirbhar Nari changed everything for me. I received seven days of professional training, which improved my skills and product quality. With Cairn's help, I participated in exhibitions in Delhi and Sarupathar, gaining confidence and customers. Today, I have earned 96,000 and produce items like Gamusas, Mekhla Chadors, and more, with access to wider markets. I now feel financially independent, confident in making my own business decisions, and proud to contribute to my family's wellbeing. Cairn empowered me not just economically but emotionally too.

Healthcare:

I am Bhagvanbhai Bhalabhai Bharwad, a 78-year-old from Amnagar. For years, I lived with undiagnosed hypertension, with no nearby PHC and no family support to seek treatment. One day, during a community outreach, the Cairn Mobile Health Van team visited my home. They diagnosed my condition and immediately began my treatment. With their regular visits, my blood pressure is now under control-restoring my health, hope, and energy. I have truly experienced how timely mobile healthcare can change a life.

In the quiet village of Kau Ka Khera, Nand Ghar holds a very special place in my heart. I'm Jethi, and I was once a child at the same Anganwadi center. Today, I proudly send my own children to the newly upgraded Nand Ghar, and every time I see them there, I feel a deep sense of gratitude toward Cairn Vedanta for bringing this transformation to our community. The way the Anganwadi worker cares for the childre-it truly feels like they are her own. With better infrastructure, nutritious meals, and engaging learning tools, more children in the village are excited to come every day-to play, to learn, to eat. I'm also especially thankful to the ANM who stood by me before and after childbirth. For me, Nand Ghar is not just a center-it's a place of love, learning, and dignity. It's a symbol of how much our village has grown, thanks to Cairn Vedanta's commitment to our well-being.

Agriculture and Animal husbandry:

My name is Pochu Devi, and I live in Darnadi. Just two months ago, I attended the Kitchen Garden Training program organized by Vedanta Cairn, where I received a kit with 12 types of seasonal seeds. With great excitement and hope, I started my own kitchen garden. Today, it’s flourishing with organic chillies, guar, lady fingers, lemons, curry leaves, and more.This garden not only provides my family with fresh, pesticide-free vegetables but also earns me an income of ₹20,000 to ₹30,000. I’ve even started selling small plants from my garden, which adds to my earnings.None of this would have been possible without the training and support from Vedanta Cairn. Thanks to this initiative, my garden has become my pride, my health, and my hope for a better future.

My name is Tikma Ram, and I a farmer from Lunava Charnan,I want to expressed my heartfelt gratitude for the continuous support and expert guidance I have received through the Barmer Unnati project. With their help, I was able to establish a chilli farm using drip irrigation — a technique I had never imagined using before. Thanks to this initiative, I have successfully sold my farm-grown chillies and earned an additional income of ~`75,000. This has made a real difference to my family. The project has improved my farming practices and gave me hope, confidence, and a better future.

Skill Development:

My name is Jagdish from Ahoni Beniwalo Ki Dhani, Baytu. As the eldest son in my family, I always felt the need to support my parents. Inspired by a friend’s success, I joined the MIS Data Analyst course at the Cairn Enterprise Centre in July 2024. The structured environment, along with training in advanced Excel and soft skills, helped me gain confidence and polish my technical knowledge. After completing the course, I secured a job with a Chartered Accountant in Barmer, earning ₹10,000 per month. I now proudly contribute to my family’s income. I am thankful to Cairn Vedanta and Learnet Skills for transforming my journey through skill empowerment.

Micro Level Interventions:

Growing up in Golaghat, Assam, my journey in sports began with rifle shooting and weightlifting during school days. But it was sailing that truly captured my heart during my time in the National Cadet Corps. From there, I pursued certification and proudly became Assam’s first certified female windsurfer. I won two gold medals and one bronze between December 2023 and April 2024 and received a ₹3 lakh reward from the Government of Assam, along with recognition in the India Book of Records.However, the cost of professional training became a major hurdle. That’s when Cairn stepped in. Their swift support allowed me to train at Aqua Outback under expert guidance, where I honed my skills and went on to win a national gold in kiteboarding. Cairn didn’t just fund my training—they believed in my dream. Their support boosted my confidence and opened new doors. Today, I’m working to guide the next generation of girls through kayaking and canoeing camps in Morigaon. With Cairn’s support, I’m not just chasing my dreams—I’m helping others believe in theirs too.
