Annapoorna Trust launched the flagship Morning Nutrition programme for 4600 primary school children studying in schools run by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), in Delhi on Feb 20 & 21, 2022.
Honourable Union Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture, Mrs Meenakshi Lekhi, graced the occasion and launched the distribution of SaiSure for the children. SaiSure is a multi nutrient mix which helps alleviate malnutrition, and has helped in healthy weight gain and growth in malnourished children.
SaiSure is Annapoorna’s high-quality nutritious and delicious health supplement presented with milk which helps alleviate malnutrition, and has helped in healthy weight gain and growth in malnourished children, and supplied totally free of charge to these school children. Phase 1 will cover 4,500 children. Plans are in place to continue expanding breakfast or SaiSure coverage to other underserved areas across other parts of Delhi.
“This project to fight ‘Hidden Hunger’ will aid physical and mental well-being, as well as cognitive development of these children and build a happy, healthy & strong New India”, said Smt. Lekhiji. Thank you very much for your support and encouragement.
