Beneficiaries
Twenty lakh people, counted by programme.
Counted by programme rather than summed into one figure, because the programmes overlap — a woman in a self-help group may also be a patient.
Who is counted, and in what
Six groups, each counted by the programme that reaches them.
Three of the twenty lakh
A student, a patient and a self-help collective — from three of the six groups counted above.
“From a one-room village school to a district topper — a laptop bank and a mentor changed the arc of my life.”
“The van found it early. I had put the check-up off for two years because the hospital is a day away.”
“We decide what the group saves for. Nobody handed us a plan — we built it, and the shop is ours.”
