Information shapes what we believe, what we share and how we act. In a world of information overload, pause, question, verify and choose to share what you can trust. Because informed choices begin with reliable information. #InformationIntegrity #AccessToInformation #SBC #Roshni

Good nutrition looks different at every stage of life, but the foundations remain the same: balance, variety, adequacy and moderation. Small, practical choices like diverse nutritious foods, healthier options and staying active can make a meaningful difference over time. #Roshni

Good nutrition isn’t simply about eating more or less, it’s about finding the right balance. Malnutrition can take many forms, including undernutrition as well as overweight and obesity. What we eat, how often we eat, and the quality of our food all matter. #Roshni

A better plate doesn’t have to mean a different plate. Small additions like more vegetables, diverse grains, pulses, fruits, nuts and seeds can make everyday meals more nutritious. This #NationalNutritionWeek, let’s make variety and balance a part of every thali. #Roshni

Healthy pregnancies begin long before pregnancy. Good nutrition before conception helps women enter pregnancy healthier, giving babies a strong start. From iron-rich, diverse meals to health check-ups, preconception nutrition can build healthier futures before pregnancy begins.

Undernutrition is more than being “too thin.” It can affect growth, development and health, sometimes in ways we cannot see. This National Nutrition Week, let’s understand it, recognise it and act early. #NationalNutritionWeek #Undernutrition #NutritionForAll #Roshni

Breastfeeding is a mother’s journey and support makes the journey easier. When families, communities and workplaces share the care and support mothers need, breastfeeding becomes easier, children thrive, and families grow stronger. Because no mother should have to do it alone.

Myths can shape behaviours. Facts can change lives. Colostrum isn't something to discard; it's a baby's first natural protection. And breastfeeding doesn't end at six months; it continues to nourish, protect, and support healthy development up to 2 years and beyond.

Breastmilk is more than food, it nourishes, protects, connects and supports the lifelong health of both mother and child. The benefits of breastfeeding extend far beyond infancy, laying the foundation for a healthier future. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #MaternalHealth #ChildHealth

The numbers tell a story, and it's one we can't ignore. Breastfeeding is one of the most effective interventions for child survival, yet exclusive breastfeeding rates in India have declined. This #WorldBreastfeedingWeek, let's explore why breastfeeding matters.
