Nutrition

Nutrition plays major role for mental and physical growth of a human being throughout the life. It prevents the sickness and disease. It helps the human to keep healthy and strong. Nutrition is one of the major components of our programme. It comes from healthy food which can be grown in our backyard nutrition garden. In this context, NYDHEE has promoted nutrition garden in the back yard of more than 5000 households to ensure the nutrition security of vulnerable households. 

 

The nutrition garden consists of seasoned vegetable, tuber, fruits and leafy vegetables. The waste water of the house is used in this nutrition garden. It is cultivated in organic manure without any chemical fertilizer. It saves expenses of household from purchasing vegetables from outside the market.

We have imparted several training and input support like seeds for nutrition garden. We also availed nutrition garden seed kits for our project participants from Mission Shakti, Odisha Livelihood Mission and Horticulture Department. We facilitated convergence with Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act for promotion of nutrition garden. We have observed nutrition week and nutrition month in the month of September throughout our project villages.
