Glenmark Nutrition Awards
About Glenmark Nutrition Awards
Glenmark Foundation has been focused on malnutrition as a core issue with special attention to children in the age group of 0 to 6 years, pregnant and lactating women and more. It has adopted a 360 degree approach to tackling malnutrition through various programs and interventions. As part of taking a step in this direction, Glenmark Nutrition Awards was organized for the first time during the RISE World Summit which was held on 28th – 29th January 2021 in partnership with the UN World Food Programme and Idobro Impact Solutions. It aimed to strengthen the eco-system to fight the scourge of hunger and support healthy mothers and children as per Glenmark’s mandate to combat malnutrition.
Conceived as a platform to recognize non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and individuals who undertook exceptional efforts during the Covid-19 pandemic, the focus of the Nutrition Awards continued and revolved around Diet diversity and Innovation in the second and third year. The objective was to support the NGOs who have worked on the lines of innovation, impact, inspiration and collaboration in improving the dietary diversity among women and children, adolescent girls and vulnerable groups from the communities, using innovative strategies for implementation and adoption.
