Reaching the Unreached

Reaching the Unreached

Endorsing the Dietetics Day theme this year: Reaching the Unreached, EcDEESHA Foundation in collaboration with P.G. Department of Home Science, Sardar Patel University, Vidhyanagar organized a 'Nutrition Awareness Program' in a Nagarpalika' school in Anand. The student volunteers from the P.G. Department spread awareness on calcium, iron and protein sources, functions and deficiencies among the adolescents of 5th to 8th grades using charts and visuals. The program was well received by the school management. The students showed willingness to inculcate protein, calcium and iron rich sources in their diet and spread knowledge about the same within their community.
