On Children’s Day, ADM and HarvestPlus Solutions
proudly launched Nutri Pathshala, a collaborative initiative dedicated to
improving child nutrition, nutrition literacy, and community well-being across
India.
The program seeks to nurture young minds by
integrating consumption of nutrient-enriched foods with engaging, school-based
learning experiences that promote healthier lifestyles among children. Nutri
Pathshala goes beyond the provision of nutritious meals, it empowers children,
parents, and teachers with the knowledge and resources to make informed choices
about food and health, while fostering local livelihoods through the production
of biofortified crops.
Speaking about the initiative, Arun Khera,
Head- Public Policy & Government Relations, ADM said “ADM is proud to
partner with HarvestPlus Solutions on the Nutri Pathshala initiative, which
aligns strongly with our commitment to expanding access to safe, nutritious and
affordable food. This collaboration reflects our belief that meaningful,
sustainable progress comes from working together across the nutrition
ecosystem, and we are excited to support this important step toward a healthier
future.”
Ravinder Grover, COO, HarvestPlus Solutions, said:
“Nutri Pathshala gives children the superpower of understanding what truly
nourishes them. When nutrition literacy becomes part of daily learning, it
shapes stronger, healthier generations. Our partnership with ADM amplifies this
impact for every child we reach.”
Aligned with Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra
Modi’s recent emphasis on the incorporation of biofortified crops to address
malnutrition, Nutri Pathshala contributes directly to the vision of a
nutrition-secure India. The initiative embodies the spirit of Children’s Day,
celebrating growth, learning, and the right of every child to a healthy,
nourished life.
The ADM–HarvestPlus Solutions partnership exemplifies
how collaboration between science, industry, and community can drive
sustainable, scalable solutions for a healthier, nourished future. As Nutri
Pathshala expands its footprint across India, it will continue to empower
children and communities with the knowledge and nourishment needed to build
stronger, brighter futures.
