*Designing Health Literacy for Rural India: Bridging Gaps Through Simplicity, Community Care & Vision of Viksh*t Bharat 2047 *

*Concise Points:*

- 🧩 *Designing for Inclusion:* Need for culturally sensitive, plain-language tools tailored to rural populations.
- 🏥 *Gaps in System:* Shortage of trained professionals and limited health infrastructure.
- 👣 *Community-Led Approach:* Empowering local physiotherapists as literacy champions for early detection and care.
- 🇮🇳 *Aligned with Viksh*t Bharat 2047:* Supports the national goal of inclusive health equity through grassroots participation.
- 🌐 *Future Path:* Integrating digital health and AI innovations for scalable, sustainable rural health literacy solutions.

"The future depends on what you do today.”

Gandhi Jayanti (2nd October), the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

The idea of “Walk Alone” (often associated with Gandhi, but popularized in Tagore’s song Ekla Chalo Re which Gandhi admired) in Gandhian philosophy refers to the courage to follow the path of truth and righteousness even if no one supports you.

The two objectives of
1.Health Literacy
2.ICF Education Workshops
are undertaken at Dharma Foundation of India (DFI)

1)Health Literacy Programs

DFI runs grassroots-level health literacy initiatives, particularly focused on older adults, women, and caregivers in rural India. These programs use plain-language education, visuals, and local languages to build awareness on topics like hypertension, dementia, and lifestyle-related conditions.

2)ICF Educational Workshops

DFI conducts workshops based on the *International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)* framework developed by WHO. These sessions help healthcare professionals, students, and community workers understand health in a broader context—focusing not just on disease, but on daily functioning, participation, and environment.

These efforts align with DFI's vision to build inclusive and sustainable models for rural health promotion.
