We were privileged to host Dr. Ashwath Narayan C N, an MLA who previously served as the 8th Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka from August 20, 2019, to July 26, 2021.

During 2^nd week of October 2024, he visited the SaiSure nutraceutical facility which supplies SaiSure health supplement to Annapoorna Trust & took part in Navaratri celebrations in Sathya Sai Grama. During the factory tour, he received a briefing on the process of preparing the fortified mix and the holistic approach to integrating nutrition with farming communities.

He was also informed about the Minimum Livelihood Price (MLP), which is paid to farmers and is higher than the prices they typically receive. Additionally, he learned how we procure raw materials directly from farmers, fortify millets at the SaiSure facility, and ensure that these nutritious products reach school children in rural areas across the nation. He was appreciative of SaiSure Ragi health mix being served to entire 55 lakh students in Karnataka.

Annapoorna Trust grateful for his visit and the opportunity to share our mission with him.
