Community interventions have been a critical component of HRIDAY’s outreach programmes for positive behavioural change at the grassroots to promote sustainable health and development. HRIDAY has mobilised people in neighbourhoods and organised sensitisation activities through community based projects and activities such as community walks, distributing theme-based handouts, and organising signature campaigns, etc.

HRIDAY recognises schools as portals of community mobilisation. Based on this, community programmes such as KiDS (Kids and Diabetes in Schools) sought active participation of adolescents, youth and adults and are successful models for capacity and leadership building activities that provide sustained knowledge delivery and impact prevailing health and development issues.
