Supplementary Nutrition for Underprivileged Children

One of two major objectives of Project Santushti is to provide supplementary nutrition to village children through a simple meal of egg, milk, and banana – essential foods which, unfortunately, most tribal children and the children from other economically backward sections of the population in the villages of Jharkhand and many other States miss in their daily meals.

Bridge the Nutrition gap to a significant extent

Project Santushti aims to set up self-run community kitchens at the village level and provide supplementary nutrition (in addition to Mid-Day Meal and home meals) to the children of the villages by giving them a simple meal consisting of 300 ml of milk, 1 egg, and 1 banana every day. This will help to bridge the nutrition gap to a significant extent. The menu will eventually evolve and add a few more food items after consultation with the Self-Help-Group women (Sahyog Sakhi).

Essential Nutrients in the daily meal provided under Project Santushti

In the daily one-time meal consisting of one glass of milk (330 ml), one egg (50 gram), and one medium-sized banana (118 gram), each beneficiary child will get the following:
i) Protein: 17.3 gram, ii) Total fat: 8.4 gram, iii) Carbohydrate: 43.5 gram, iv) Potassium: 949.5 mg, v) Sodium: 199.3 mg, vi) Vitamin A, vii) Vitamin B6, viii) Vitamin C, ix) Vitamin D, x) Calcium, xi) Iron, xii) Cobalamin, xiii) Magnesium
