The foundation of Aahaar Kranti as a movement has been laid and has been a successful one. The entire focus has been on finding out the nutritional gaps in different age groups and how to address this issue by creating interactive and knowledgeable educational modules with the help of “Subject Matter Experts” (SMEs). Our projects help gather insights and information from hands-on experiments and data collection that are published in international journals.
