Women in urban India have greater access to information and medical facilities, and yet, continue to suffer from medical problems that are easily curable – such as anaemia.

As per the data released by the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4) in January 2018, 40% of women are mildly anaemic, 12% are moderately anaemic, and 1% are severely anaemic.

In order to raise awareness about anaemia, and motivate women to focus on their health, Project Streedhan has been launched by DSM (a global major specializing in nutrition and sustainable living).
