LG (Life’s Good) with Annapoorna Trust – Building-the-nation through nutrition initiative
“If one dreams, it is a dream; if all start dreaming, it becomes a reality!”
Making India malnutrition-free is possible, but not easy. It requires concerted target-oriented efforts by everybody to make this dream possible. Annapoorna Trust is at the forefront of building the nation through nutrition. Advocating the 3S principle (Sarkara – Samaja – Sanstha), Annapoorna is working in sync with the 3S principle along with the government and corporates to achieve the dream. The partnership of Annapoorna with LG Electronics India Pvt. Ltd. started in the year 2023-24, benefiting nearly 25,000 government school children in Karnataka, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, through the Morning Nutrition program. They were provided with SaiSure Malt Multi Nutrient Health mix along with milk, and health snacks like Ragi laddoos, biscuits, and chikkis.
LG Electronics India Pvt. Ltd. is one of the most formidable brands in consumer electronics, home appliances, IT hardware, and mobile communications space. LG Electronics’ brand philosophy is making, ‘LIFE’s GOOD’ for people. LG launched the ‘Life’s Good Nutrition Program,’ an initiative aimed at ensuring the well-being and proper nutrition of school-going children in government schools across the nation. This endeavour intended to address the critical issue of childhood malnutrition and the overall cognitive and physical development of the nation’s future leaders.
Employee Volunteering
In October 2023, nearly 50-60 employees of LG participated in their LG Voluntary Social Campaign and celebrated the ‘Joy of Giving,’ by inviting the school children of Delhi’s Gyan Shakti Vidyalaya (Annapoorna Morning Nutrition Beneficiary School) to their office. The children were given loads of entertainment ranging from a magic show, and dance performances, followed by an elaborate spread of menu in the lunch. Before leaving, they were gifted with school bags, art and craft supplies, and stationery items, and were encouraged to study well and come up well in life.
Impact
The Morning Nutrition program has brought in a positive impact on the children in various ways. Overall health improvements like an increase in weight and height, better immunity, and improved vital parameters. These have led to improved attendance, faring well in academics, improved focus and concentration, and motivation for teachers to teach bright and enthusiastic children with filled stomachs.
