Nourishing communities towards a healthy nation. Because it all starts at home...

The unrelenting plague of malnutrition & anaemia, Now has a new hope. She’s called,

sangini
sangini

A land of plentiful produce… yet rampant malnutrition is prevalent across the country. It’s ironic that India is home to the highest number of malnourished children in the world!

Malnutrition & Anaemia: Beyond The Cause

It’s not just poverty, but the lack of knowledge and proliferation of myths that have contributed to this crisis. 50% of Indian women of reproductive age are anaemic with iron deficiency. This cycle stems from the lack of knowledge & myths on what, how much, and how many times to eat or feed. Poor hygiene and sanitation add to the hurdles. If the issue of Malnutrition is not addressed at an early stage then it can have grave effects. The Short-term adverse effects include recurring illness, weakness, delayed physical and mental development, irritability, poor appetite, low weight for age, etc. Long-term adverse effects are stunting or short height for age, poor learning ability, poor performance at school and poor general health. United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (2.2) promises to end all forms of malnutrition by 2025, which includes control over stunting & wasting in children less than 5 years of age and address the nutritional needs of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women. Keeping this in mind, we have envisioned our efforts to ensure the target communities are not only aware but also participate in the process and feel the impact of such development exclusively.

Project SuPoshan

A Mission Against Malnutrition & Anaemia

An initiative by Adani Wilmar, implemented by Adani Foundation. This project's first step is to control the spread of malnutrition across 22 chosen locations in the country. We intend to support the Ministry of Women and Child Development’s Poshan Abhiyaan, by facilitating a community-based model. This initiative has been in association with Adani Foundation who have been acting as our implementation partner. Project SuPoshan encompasses curative and preventive actions in lines with the ‘10 proven interventions to reduce under-nutrition’.

Udbhav The Drive

Malnutrition, anaemia and the complications around them have hampered the progress of our nation since ages. We believed it to be our responsibility to amend this as we strive towards building a Healthy Growing Nation, and so began Project SuPoshan in May 2016. The integrated community-based model is the result of various successful experiences during the last decade.

Dhyey The Goal

We ceaselessly ideate ways to further our quest against malnutrition and anaemia among our target groups. This includes children from 0-5 years of age, adolescent girls and women in reproductive age at various locations in the country as a part of our 'Corporate Social Responsibility' initiative.
