Feeding India by Zomato has partnered with the Government of Maharashtra and UdyogYantra to pilot an ‘AI-enabled device’ that monitors the nutritional quality and compliance of meals served to children at Todsa – a Government Ashram School for tribal children, situated in the remote village of Etapalli in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra.
This pilot has been carried out under the able guidance and support of Shubham Gupta, IAS, who shared, “The District Administration is initiating a new collaborative effort in nutrition management, using the latest technological innovation in Artificial Intelligence.”
Vishal Kumar, CEO and President of Feeding India, added, “The result of this pilot has been very encouraging and both the district administration as well as children have echoed a stark improvement in the quantity and quality of daily meals being serviced. This device has aided in regular monitoring of BMI of children and proactive identification of acute malnutrition among children requiring special attention. Feeding India, upon the request of the District Administration has made available a malt-based nutritious supplement to quickly improve the nutrition level of these children. Together, we are making a real difference in the lives of the most vulnerable among us, and it’s a true honor to be a part of this meaningful work.”
“We believe Tech and a Belief in Tech can accelerate a move towards a healthy India,” said Ankur Jain, Founder & CEO of UdyogYantra.
