During the first six years of life, children attain several developmental milestones, which act as a foundation for their future development and learning. Thus, quality nutrition during early childhood is critical for the complete growth of their brain and body. It also reduces the risk of chronic diseases later in their lives.
Additionally, women have distinct nutritional requirements through out their life – especially before and during the maternal period, when their vulnerability is the greatest. So, ensuring that they have nutritious diets, adequate services and care is crucial for the survival and well-being of them and their children.
THE ANGANWADI FEEDING PROGRAMME
As a logical parallel to serving mid-day meals in schools as a part of the Central Government’s PM Poshan Abhiyaan and with the goal of eliminating malnutrition in children at the root, we also serve cooked meals to pregnant women, lactating mothers and toddlers in Anganwadi Centres (rural daycare) that supports the Government’s Anganwadi Feeding Initiative.
The menu is as follows:
| South Indian Menu | North Indian Menu | |
| Monday | White Rice, Yellow Cucumber Pappu | Thepla with vegetables, Tur Dal Lachko |
| Tuesday | Pulihora, Tomato Dal | Vegetable Masala Daliya/Thepla, Desi Chana with Gravy |
| Wednesday | White Rice, Spinach Pappu | Jeera Rice/Thepla, Tur Dal Lachko with vegetables |
