Satisfying a mother's need for information

As a mother of a 1 ½ year old daughter, I was always anxious to know if my daughter's growth is normal. I was under the impression that only the health workers will be able to tell me about this. Staying in a village, calling on a health worker whenever you need their advice is not an easy task.

Simple remedy for a big problem

I have a grand mother who is a diabetic patient. Her sugar levels went up considerably and hence we consulted a doctor. She took medicine as per the doctor’s advice. Unfortunately, she developed allergies. We were all worried about her heatlh.

Helping people to serve better

I've been working as a Thagavalagam (Village Information Centre) operator in Sekipatti village, for the past four years. I have completed X Std. I have a passion for serving the people of my village and hence Iam working in this sector. I am interested in creating awareness about various issues among my people. But, how do I do, when I do not have supporting information in Tamil.

Taking care of hidden information needs

As a mother of an adolescent daughter, I always wanted to teach my daughter on how to take care of her health. Residing in a village, it's difficult to express such needs for information to others.

Building capacities to communicate better

I am working as an Ashwini Centre Operator in Ponamanda village. I have seen lot of people creating various kinds of websites. As the people in my village can understand only Telugu language, I wanted to create a website in Telugu. However, I was unaware of using Telugu in computers.
