Union Cooperation Minister Amit Shah is set to launch two Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives aimed at boosting malnutrition mitigation among children in the national capital on Tuesday.

The programmes — Giftmilk Programme and Shishu Sanjeevani Programme — will be unveiled during the National CSR Conclave titled “Role of Corporate Social Responsibility in Nutrition Security and Malnutrition Mitigation”, organised by the NDDB Foundation, an official statement said.

The Giftmilk Programme, a CSR effort by SAIL-Bhilai Steel Plant in Chhattisgarh, will provide flavoured milk fortified with Vitamins A and D to around 4,000 children in government schools in mining areas of Bhilai Steel Plant. The milk will be supplied through the Chhattisgarh Milk Federation, managed by NDDB.

The Shishu Sanjeevani Programme, supported by IDBI Bank as a CSR initiative, offers nutritional support to approximately 3,000 children at anganwadi centres in rural Nagpur district, Maharashtra. It features an energy-dense, ready-to-eat fortified supplement developed by NDDB and manufactured by the Bhandara Milk Union.

The conclave aims to discuss collaborative and sustainable strategies to boost malnutrition mitigation in children.

Several Union Ministers, including Rajiv Ranjan Singh, Annapurna Devi, Krishan Pal Gurjar, Murlidhar Mohol, S P Singh Baghel and George Kurian, will attend the event.

Cooperation Secretary Ashish Kumar Bhutani, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Secretary Naresh Pal Gangwar, Women and Child Development Secretary Anil Malik, NDDB Chairman Meenesh Shah and other stakeholders are also expected.
