We partner with leading private organizations, government bodies and UN agencies to improve nutrition outcomes across all life stages, with a particular focus on mothers, infants, children, and adolescents.
Our evidence-based, life-cycle approach prioritizes the First 1,000 Days, ensuring preventive, promotive, and curative interventions for children (0-6 years) while strengthening nutrition practices and health-seeking behaviours among adolescent girls, pregnant women, and lactating mothers. At the community level, we enhance demand generation and service delivery, leveraging the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) schemes through innovative, scalable approaches. We mobilize and empower communities by engaging Village Health, Sanitation, and Nutrition Committees (VHSNCs) and Self-Help Groups (SHGs), driving service uptake and improving nutrition behaviours.
In India, malnutrition among children and expectant mothers remains a critical public health crisis, creating a ripple effect that compromises survival, cognitive development, and national economic productivity. According to the National Family Health Survey-5 (NFHS-5, 2019–21) conducted by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, anaemia affects 67.1% of children under five and 57% of women of reproductive age. As per the data of Poshan Tracker November 2023, around 7.44 crore children under 6 years were measured, out of whom 37.51% were found to be stunted, 17.43% were found to be underweight and 6% children under 5 years were found to be wasted.
Our work aligns with national nutrition initiatives, including Poshan Abhiyaan 2.0, ICDS, the Mid-Day Meal Scheme, and Suposhit Panchayats, ensuring sustained improvements in maternal and child nutrition through system-strengthening efforts, behaviour change strategies, and community-led interventions.

Launched in 2025 and funded by the Anil Agarwal Foundation (Vedanta Limited), Project Balvardhan is being implemented in Dholpur district of Rajasthan with the aim of enhancing early childhood nutrition and education. Through a blend of scientifically proven interventions and strategic partnerships, the project integrates behavior change campaigns, digital tracking systems, and food fortification with technology-driven Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) — creating a scalable, sustainable model to eradicate malnutrition and foster holistic development.
Pushti
Project Pushti was an integrated initiative dedicated to transforming nutrition, health, and sanitation (WASH) standards across 17 villages in the Nabha block of Patiala, Punjab. Funded by GSK-CH’s Mission Health, the project went beyond surface-level interventions to address the root causes of undernutrition, in the communities where it mattered most.
Adolescent Nutrition Sanitation and Health (ANSH)
Funded by GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare (GSK-CH) under Mission Health, the project delivered nutrition-focused programs and schemes targeting adolescents aged 10–19 years. ANSH prioritized improving adolescent nutritional status by reinforcing evidence-based interventions already integrated within India’s existing health and nutrition systems.
Road to School
The Road to School project, implemented in partnership with the Learning Links Foundation (LLF) in Khordha district, Odisha, improved the health and wellness of approximately 10,000 students across 42 schools through three broad components: the Learning Enhancement Program, Health and Wellbeing, and Community Engagement.
