In the News
The End Malnutrition Initiative (EMI) is a flagship program proudly developed by the Edward & Cynthia Institute of Public Health, a unit of CHD Group. EMI is a pioneering effort born from a blend of innovative goals and is designed to be implemented at the grassroots level, requiring the cooperation of multiple stakeholders. EMI is dedicated to transforming the landscape of nutrition and child development. Traditional methods have fallen short in addressing India’s malnutrition crisis and also holds good for large parts of the world. EMI is a critical, game-changing project that engages communities, corporate companies and develops cooperation among stakeholders. Our goal is to create impactful, sustainable solutions that can be scaled and replicated across the country.
The Center for Nutrition and Food Security is instrumental in addressing several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 2: Zero Hunger and SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being. By conducting innovative research and implementing community-based programs, the centre ensures access to nutritious food and promotes sustainable agricultural practices. These efforts directly contribute to reducing hunger and malnutrition, thereby improving public health outcomes.
