Bhubaneswar, 15\/12\/2020 ( Odisha Samachar )-\u00a0 The Anil Agarwal Foundation (AAF), which joined hands with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation last week, will set up 500 Nand Ghars in UP over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n

Studies have shown that more than 90 per cent of the children enrolled with Nand Ghars are found in the healthy category, with zero slippage into malnutrition.<\/p>\n

Vedanta Chairman Anil Agarwal said, \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on the Nand Ghar project in state of Uttar Pradesh. We would be jointly developing 500 Nand Ghars in UP with focus on improving health and nutritional outcomes for women and children. Nand Ghar is a joint collaboration with Ministry of Women & Child Development, where we hope to transform the entire landscape of the aanganwadi ecosystem with focus on nutrition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nand Ghar \u2013 an initiative of the Anil Agarwal Foundation \u2013 is currently operating in seven states and plans to roll out the social impact project in Bihar.

Anil Agarwal has already pledged 75% of his wealth to philanthropy and is committed to giving back to society and eliminate malnutrition, especially among women & children.<\/p>\n

The collaboration between the two philanthropic organizations will involve the implementation of best practices of Nand Ghar infrastructure and amenities along with BMGF\u2019s system strength to improve the health and nutrition outcomes. The desired goal is to widen the spread and scale Nand Ghars in identified districts of Uttar Pradesh to have deeper and large-scale impact.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cNand Ghar\u2019s work is advancing India\u2019s health and development goals in a meaningful way, and by working together, I think we\u2019ll advance them even faster,\u201d Bill Gates has said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0According to Union Minister for Women & Child Development: \u201cThe Government of India is committed towards enabling a healthy & well-nourished life for every child. The partnership of BMGF and Anil Agarwal Foundation to ameliorate malnutrition will surely have a lasting impact and further strengthen Honourable PM Narendra Modi\u2019s vision of Suposhit Bharat.\u201d<\/p>\n
