Morning Nutrition Expansion in Jangaon district, Telangana – 14th November 2022

Morning Nutrition Expansion in Jangaon district, Telangana – 14th November 2022

November 17th, 2022

On 14th November – Children’s Day, Morning Nutrition program was launched in ZPSS Boys school in Jangaon. 31,228 children across 508 schools would receive Morning Nutrition. This launch is a further expansion of the program started in September 2022 in the district (benefiting 31,000 children).

The event was presided by Colonel Dr C Narendra Reddy, Sri P Ramana – DRDA-SERP Assistant Manager and the Headmaster of the school, Sri S Prakasham. From Annapoorna Trust, Mr Dhananjay Rao Ejapu – Regional coordinator of Telangana, Mr. Srikanth Vooturi – Jagatial District Coordinator and Mr Kanakaiah Gotte – Jangaon District Coordinator, were present.

Mr Kanakaiah Gotte spoke in the event about how Col Dr C. Narendra Reddy, who was born and raised in a village in Jangaon himself, started providing healthy breakfast to the children for their all-round development. He used to supplement an extra egg to the 2 eggs which the government used to provide, and offered sprouts on non-egg days, thus ensuring nutritious meal for all 6 days of the week. ‘Since 2016, banana distribution program in the mornings has been regular, recognizing that the brain requires glucose for its functioning, thereby giving energy and aiding in developing good intelligence,’ he said. In 2020, Annapoorna Trust accepted the Colonel’s request to provide Nutrition to 4000 students in Bachchannapet Mandal, but this program had to be paused due to the pandemic. On learning about the Trust providing ‘Ragi Cereals Health Drink’ for students in many districts of Telangana post-pandemic, Col Dr Narendra Reddy, requested the Trust to provide for 3000 students in 3 mandals of Jangaon district. But when Mr. Anand Kadali, Secretary and Trustee of Annapoorna Trust, met the DEO Sri K Ramu, he requested for relevant permissions to provide the health drink to all the 32,228 students from weaker sections of the society in the entire district.
