Introduction

We the Samagra Arogya Team, welcome the Core Team of KHPT to the Vandse GP cluster.

We have been sharing our experiences and approaches with you all, but most often in the corridors and conference rooms in Bangalore. This is an opportunity for us to enable you to experience a glimpse of the context and how we have been working in the context since September 2023.

The engagement is planned as a 3/4 day workshop, which happens in-situ. We have put together a plan that brings to focus work done to understand and unpack specific manifestations of SDoH in three micro-contexts—namely, Fish markets, Agrarian Practices, and Tribal Settlements. We invite you to engage with the prior work, and experience an hour and or two of engaging with the micro-context to further understand and unpack for yourselves.

We expect you to bring forth your immense collective and individual experiences and expertise of field work, and yet be open to learning some new ways. Most importantly, we want you to focus on the act of making as a way of understanding. We want you to imagine and experience this approach.

Learning Objective

  1. To experience and appreciate place-based construction-oriented approaches for understanding specific, local manifestations of Social Determinants of Health.
