In a bid to spread awareness about nutrition, healthy eating practices, and locally available nutritious food, fruits and vegetables, the CSR wing of ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India) observed Nutrition Awareness Week at Nuagarh in Paradip. About 300 women and adolescent girls, Anganwadi and ANM workers from periphery villages participated in the programme.
On the occasion, Dr Ajit Jena, Chief Medical Officer, AM/NS India said, “Raising awareness about nutrition is very important as people should know and understand about their diet. Eating a healthy diet is not all about counting calories and carbohydrates; it is also about eating proper foods to support your body’s natural functions for a healthy life.”
Addressing the gathering, Dr. Niranjan Dwivedi of the Mobile Medical Unit, AM/NS India stressed on the importance of nutritional and adaptive eating habits which can help maintain a healthy lifestyle. He also advised the participants to take a well-balanced and nutritious diet, which is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Dr. Vikas Yadvendu, Head-CSR, AM/NS India said, “Due to lack of proper knowledge on diet, many people face health related issues. Proper knowledge can only help them to maintain a healthy lifestyle by taking proper diet. As a responsible corporate house, we always take proactive steps in organising such awareness programmes for wellbeing of the community.”
