The flagship Annapoorna morning nutrition programme was launched on 13-Dec in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh for 500 school children.

This place has a historical significance dating 5000 years back when Lord Krishna, ignoring the dry fruits given by Duryodhana of Kaurava dynasty, had gone to Mahatma Vidura’s home to partake Bathua (a green leafy vegetable). This place is also known as Taposthali – place of penance of Mahatma Vidura.

Annapoorna has come up with an innovative solution of a balanced protein-based health supplement SaiSure that can be mixed with milk supplied free of cost. This supplement meets the protein, calorie, vitamin, and mineral requirements, as well as micronutrients for the growing children & has resulted in improvement in health parameters such as – decline in wasting, stunting, malnutrition, and better BMI in children.

SaiSure was given to 500 children in Government school at Bijnor. Pilot launch took place in the presence of Jai Karan Yadav – BSA Bijnor, Subodh Parashar – Ex MLC, Ankit Chaudhry – Block Pramukh, Gaurav Bharadwaj – Haryana Regional coordinator. Many educationists and intellectuals from the district also took part in the launch of the programme. All the guests showed their gratitude towards Annapoorna Trust and requested to take many more schools in the district.
