With this, almost all the government school-going children in Karnataka will receive their morning nutrition through a unique multi-nutrient supplement, ‘SaiSure’, specially customised for children
At Vidhan Soudha, a state-wide launch of the Annapoorna Morning Nutrition Programme took place in the presence of the Chief Minister of Karnataka – Siddaramaiah. This nutrition programme is the brainchild of Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai, with the motto – ‘Let no child go to school hungry ever!’ Karnataka has been the hub of Annapoorna’s services for the past nine years, and what started with just feeding 50 children in Karnataka, growing in phases to about 3,62,243 children across 5,085 schools, has today whizzed through the whole of Karnataka embracing under its loving care an additional 55 lakh children to 53,619 schools.
With this, almost all the government school-going children in Karnataka will receive their morning nutrition through a unique multi-nutrient supplement, ‘SaiSure’, specially customised for children. A ragi-variant or a malt-variant of SaiSure will be supplied to all the government schools by Annapoorna, and all it takes is to mix the SaiSure Health Mix along with the milk that is given to all children by Karnataka’s Ksheera Bhagya Programme. SaiSure can also partake with jaggery and water.
The farming community of Karnataka is also benefitting in a big way as Annapoorna purchases organically-grown ragi millet through the Subhiksha Organic Farmers’ Multi-State Cooperative Society Ltd, which offers a seamless transaction from farmers to consumers, thereby compensating the farmers fairly enough for their livelihood, much above MSP.
