Awareness in School


SAG – KP Convergence Program

The SAG – KP Convergence Program aims at the empowerment of adolescent girls (age group 11–18 years) by improving their nutritional and health status, enhancing home skills, life skills, and vocational skills.
The program also equips them with information on health and hygiene, family welfare, and public services, enabling better education, awareness, and life opportunities.
It further focuses on mainstreaming out-of-school girls into formal or non-formal education systems.
