CSSW try to reach to a level of sustainability that we must focus on prevention, even more than cure, so as to reduce the 'disease burden' on common man. Under "Swachch Bharat" mission, millions of toilets have been built, many of which remain unutilized. Here, we  play a key role by focusing upon awareness generation and attitudinal change through consistent engagements with the communities and schools. CSSW work with government agencies to make sure expectant mothers receive ample nutrition and get their vaccines in time. Volunteers also work with children to make sure they are vaccinated and that they are not malnourished. As in present pandemic situation of COVID- 19, CSSW try to educate people about the precautions one should follow to keep safe and the various guidelines which are released by GOI time to time. Also, provide correct and reliable information about the various myths about the COVID-19 and vaccinations etc.
