Millers for Nutrition and Fortify Health Team Up to Empower Nutrition and Enrich Lives in India

Millers for Nutrition, in partnership with Fortify Health, recently co-sponsored the 61st Annual General Meeting of the U.P. Roller Flour Millers Association. This event introduced TechnoServe and Millers for Nutrition to the association, highlighting the coalition’s objectives and inviting millers to join the movement. Fortify Health works to increase access to micronutrient-rich wheat flour, reducing and preventing iron-deficiency anaemia.

Abhishek Shukla, Country Program Manager, emphasized the importance of flour fortification efforts across the state, while Deepti Gulati, Senior Advisor at TechnoServe, shared valuable insights from past projects and the Take Home Ration (THR) scheme. The event drew attendees from the Government of Uttar Pradesh, including Shri Suresh Kumar Khanna, Cabinet Minister for Finance and Parliamentary Affairs, and Shri Manoj Kumar Singh, Chief Secretary. Other key attendees included Dharmendra Jain, President of UPRFMA and Navneet Chitlangia, President of the Roller Flour Millers Federation of India. The event, attended by over 150 millers, served as a catalyst for advancing food fortification conversations.
