Adolescents and Young People

The Healthy Generation Project is a flagship initiative of Jatan Sansthan, supported by Sattva and financially assisted by the Harish Beena Shah Foundation. The project is being implemented across 200 villages in the Kumbhalgarh block of Rajsamand district and the Pindwara block of Sirohi district in Rajasthan.

With an ambitious outreach, the project directly targets over 20,000 children, 20,000 women, 8,000 adolescent girls, and approximately 1,300 service providers including frontline workers, educators, and health personnel.

Supported by UNICEF, Rajasthan office, the project is being implemented in 30 villages under 6 Panchayats of Gogunda and Udaipur

Beliefs and practices around menstruation affect a women’s self image and self esteem, her health and well being, and her position in society.

The BMZ-supported project, implemented by Jatan Sansthan across the districts of Ajmer, Rajsamand, and Bhilwara, focuses on eliminating child marriage and empowering adolescents. Central to the program is the establishment of 30 Adolescent Resource Centers (ARCs), which serve as safe, inclusive, and vibrant spaces for adolescent engagement, learning, and leadership.

These ARCs are equipped with educational materials, digital tools, libraries, sports equipment, and creative resources to promote holistic development. To support the intervention, a dedicated multidisciplinary team was recruited, including project coordinators, field facilitators, trainers, and ARC facilitators.
