daily on each channel in each language.Then more people
will live for more years to see and read what media says.
They will have more money to buy the media output.

On 5th day of life they tied a thread around
the waist of baby Krishna. It is called as
Kardhani, kardoda etc. Even today this thread
can be used as a good growth monitoring
tool.Teach parents that as a baby grows the
thread becomes tight and needs change. If baby
becomes weak, it becomes loose. If the thread
ever becomes loose they should consult doctor
as the child is getting malnourished. He is either
starving or sick or both. All including illiterate
grand mother notice this change. Thus it is a very
good qualitative marker for growth monitoring.

the water hole and drinks water. If it is more thirsty
in summer or due to diarrhoea, it has the option
of drinking more water. This eliminates dehy-
dration. Each house should have a waterhole or
a water bottle on the ground which a thirsty child
can access independently at lib.
When a child gets diarrhea, he loses water,
and becomes thirsty. If he gets enough water to
drink he does not get dehydrated. A diarrhoea
child gets thirsty first, dehydrated next and dies
last. Keep water within reach of a child. If he is
thirsty he will drink water himself. Thus if thirst is
eliminated, dehydration and diarrhoea deaths are
reduced..Water kept in the baby corner/Krishna
corner does this job.
