NASSCOM to build data hub for adolescent health and nutrition

NASSCOM supports Nourishing Schools Foundation 

Nourishing Schools Foundation, a non-profit focused on helping children take charge of tackling malnutrition, has been selected for the Social Innovation Catalyst programme.

This programme, a joint initiative of NASSCOM Foundation’s corporate volunteering programme – My Kartavya and Tietoevry, aims at strengthening the NGO ecosystem by mentoring select non-profits to overcome tech challenges for a lasting impact.
 
Adolescents in India face several nutrition-related challenges and due to a lack of data, their health and nutrition are often overlooked. Through the Social Innovation Catalyst programme, NASSCOM Foundation will support Nourishing Schools Foundation in building a Data Hub on adolescent health and nutrition. This will improve various stakeholders’ understanding of adolescent health and nutrition, enable them to compare data across geographies and themes​, and suggest priority areas of action.
