BANGALORE (JANUARY 7): RISE AGAINST HUNGER INDIA (RAHI) HAS SCALED UP ITS PIONEERING NUTRITION-INTEGRATED LIFE SKILLS EDUCATION PROGRAMME FOR ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS: following a successful pilot in Bhubaneswar. Through a robust Training of Trainers (ToT) initiative, 26 NGO partners and 53 trainers are now equipped to deliver structured modules across Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad. The programme, designed to address the critical link between nutrition and overall well-being, aims to empower young people to make informed choices for their health. Modules cover themes such as healthy eating habits, hygiene, clean cooking practices, and awareness around ultra-processed, high-fat, and high-calorie foods.

“Adolescence is a ‘second window of opportunity’ to shape nutritional and health outcomes and address gaps from early childhood. Through this initiative, we aim to build agency among young people so they can make informed choices about food and their personal well-being,” said Mr. Dola Mohapatra, Chief Executive Officer, Rise Against Hunger India.

He added that the programme seeks to foster leadership among adolescents, enabling them to become role models and change agents within their communities.
