What We Do

In the heart of rural India, a quiet revolution is transforming the way children eat and learn. Nutri-Pathshala, an initiative by HarvestPlus Solutions, is not just about feeding young minds—it’s about empowering them with the knowledge to make healthier choices. By serving naturally nutritious biofortified meals, this program integrates essential micronutrients into school meals through iron-rich pearl millet and zinc-rich wheat.

But the impact goes beyond the plate. Through ‘Poshan ki Padhai,’ children are learning to read nutrition labels, understand their food, and take charge of their well-being. Because when the right food meets the right knowledge, the result is a healthier, smarter, and stronger generation.

“It is an honor to be associated with Nutri Pathshala, a program that is creating positive change at the grassroots level with its impactful initiatives. I urge everyone to join this noble cause and contribute to building a healthier, stronger future.”

Voices of Change

Being a part of this initiative is truly rewarding. Through the Nutri-Pathshala initiative, students are provided with Nutri-Diaries to help them track their diet. These diaries also feature innovative activities that encourage healthy eating habits. Additionally, the biofortified Nutri-Dabba helps in addressing micronutrient deficiencies. We focus on educating children not only about healthy eating habits but also other essential aspects of holistic development, making a lasting impact on their overall well-being

We love coming to school, as each activity helps us learn about healthy habits in an exciting way. It's not just about eating right; we also enjoy the hands-on activities that make us more aware of our health and well-being.

I joined the Nutri-Pathshala initiative 6 months ago as a Nutri-Buddy, and it's been an incredible journey. Our focus here is to change the food habits of school-going children, encouraging them to consume healthy foods while avoiding junk food. We promote the consumption of nutrient-enriched foods, which play a significant role in improving their overall nutrition. We've already noticed a major shift in their preferences, with more children choosing healthy foods over junk food. Additionally, we’ve observed positive changes in their eating habits, with the Nutri-Diary playing a vital role in tracking their progress.

Thanks to the Nutri-Pathshala initiative and the nutrient-enriched snacks, we can concentrate better in our studies now. We’re really thankful to the Nutri-Buddies for helping us understand important concepts like handwashing, hygiene, and more. This has been really helpful in improving both our health and focus in school
