This supplement meets the requirements of macronutrients like proteins, carbohydrates and fats  as well as micronutrients like vitamins and minerals for the growing children & has resulted in improvement in health parameters such as – decline in wasting, stunting, malnutrition, and better BMI in children.

Along with the minister, dignitaries present were Block Education Officer (Primary), District Education Officer (Primary) and members of block Samithis, teachers & students. Children were provided with SaiSure multi-nutrient health mix during the launch.
