Food Literacy Project for Eductors
सही भोजन, बेहतर जीवन
FSSAI’s ‘Eat Right India’ movement aims to transform the country’s food system to ensure safe, healthy, and sustainable food for all Indians. The tagline ‘Sahi Bhojan. Behtar Jeevan' forms the foundation of this movement.
Food is essential, but understanding food, nutrition, and healthy habits is often overlooked. This knowledge is a valuable life skill, and teachers are central to this initiative.
