During the year 2023-24, FAI, under its Light a Life – A First American (India) Foundation, has partnered with Annapoorna Trust in providing morning nutrition to Government school children in Chikkaballapur and Ramanagara districts of Karnataka and in Hyderabad. On 11 May, in line with this collaboration, FAI’s CSR team visited Sathya Sai Grama, Muddenahalli, in Chikkaballapur, which is the headquarters of Sri Sathya Sai Annapoorna Trust.
First American (India) team was represented by Mr. Purvash Jha – Member Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability team; Mr. Kevin Lawrence A – Senior Lead – Corporate Social Responsibility and Mr. Siddharth Joshi – Consultant, Climate Change and Sustainability Services, Ernst and Young Associate LLP. From Annapoorna Trust, the team was greeted by Mr. Anand Kumar Kadali – Trustee and Secretary; Mr. Sai Prasad Ivaturi – Trustee and Treasurer; Mr. Sushanth Karanth – Manager Corporate Communications and Mr. Vivek Kumar – Manager Social Media Management.
Mr. Purvash spoke on sustained development in Nutrition Intervention & was keen to have long term partnerships with Non-Profit organisations to having a lasting impact on the society.
The entire team was taken on a tour to Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital, where medical services are provided free of cost, Sathya Sai Educational campus and institutions, and SaiSure Nutraceutical Facility, where production of SaiSure Multi nutrient and Millet health mix takes place.
Mr. Anand briefed the team about SaiSure Micronutrient Health Mix, addressing the hidden hunger and the need to set up a SaiSure Nutraceutical Facility in rural areas. Rural areas often have a higher prevalence of poverty, which can lead to a higher incidence of malnutrition and other nutritional issues. Hence, this facility would reduce the urban-rural divide. The unit is also on par with any global MNCs involved in food manufacturing, with a capacity of 750 tons per month catering to serve 20 lakh beneficiaries.
It was an eventful day where many aspects of serving society in a better way were discussed. Annapoorna Trust is looking forward to having a long-lasting relationship with the FAI team and involvement in various programs benefiting the children and rural masses in our country.
