ममता का आँचलFertility truth, in her own language.

A free weekly radio programme by Dr. Shradha Chakhaiyar — reaching women across Bihar who have no one else to ask. 100+ episodes. Two years. Not one week missed.

Why this exists

Every week, a woman somewhere in Bihar sits beside her kitchen radio and hears something she has never heard before — a doctor speaking to her, in her language, about something she has carried alone for years.

She is not our patient. She may never walk through our doors. But she deserves to know the truth about her own body. A clinic can help the people who reach it. A radio programme can reach the woman who doesn’t yet know she needs help — and in Bihar, where infertility still means blame, isolation and broken marriages, that reach can change a life.

Infertility is common — but the women who suffer most are the ones furthest from accurate information.

The radio still reaches

They aren’t Googling or on YouTube. In countless homes, a transistor radio is still the most trusted voice in the room.

It’s a commitment

Not a campaign with an end date. A weekly promise to keep showing up — because the information gap is real, and we can help close it.

We don’t run this to build our brand. We run it because the suffering is real — and we can do something about it.
— Dr. Shradha Chakhaiyar, MRCOG (London) · Founder, Shradha IVF & Maternity

What we talk about

Clinically accurate. Plainly spoken. No jargon, no pressure.

01

Why conception takes time

What “trying for a while” actually means medically — and when it’s worth seeing a doctor.

02

What IVF really is

Who it’s for, how it works, and why it isn’t the last resort people assume.

03

PCOD & thyroid

The silent conditions that affect fertility for years before anyone names them.

04

Pregnancy & nutrition

Warning signs, what to eat, and what to watch for through every trimester.

05

Pregnancy loss

What causes it, what doesn’t — and how to begin to process the grief.

06

The emotional weight

The stigma, the pressure, the loneliness — and how to carry it differently.

The promise

Two years. Every week.
Without exception.

Since the programme began, Dr. Shradha has shown up at the Akashwani studio every single week — a fresh episode, a new question, spoken directly to women who have no other access to this kind of guidance.

More than 100 episodes. No breaks. No repeats. Every episode is archived here, free, so you can listen at your own pace — return to one that speaks to what you’re going through, or share it with someone who needs it.
