News from NUCSER | Poshan Diwas 2024

As a part of National Nutrition Week, the NSS unit of NUCSER organised a community outreach program on 4th September 2024 at the Govt. Higher Primary School, Bagambila to commemorate Poshan Diwas. The event was aimed at raising awareness about nutrition and healthy eating habits among school children. Students were informed about the key components of a nutritious diet, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. The effect of deficiency of certain minerals, such as iron and calcium, was also explained to students.

Activities included interactive sessions where students participated by categorizing pictures of fruits and vegetables into their respective vitamin groups. Engaging games, songs and storytelling sessions focused on nutrition were conducted to educate the children in a fun and interactive way. The NSS team provided nutritious meals and nutrition bars to support the students' health needs. Discussions were held with teachers regarding the midday meal provided to the students. The BMIs of all students were calculated to check if they were underweight or overweight. An informative Quiz on nutrition was also conducted, with prizes awarded to the winners, encouraging healthy competition and learning. The event concluded with the School Principal, Mr. Vasanth Rai, expressing gratitude to the NSS Committee of NUCSER for their valuable contribution and impactful activities.
