India’s first completely free rural medical college, the Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (SMSIMSR), is training a new generation of doctors to serve underserved communities instead of pursuing profit. Founded in 2023 in rural Karnataka, the college provides world-class education, clinical training, and housing at no cost to students from marginalized backgrounds. Students begin hands-on hospital work from their first year and are taught with a focus on compassion, ethics, and community service. With over 1 million outpatient visits and 29,000 surgeries already performed for free, SMSIMSR is reshaping healthcare access in India and building a scalable model of value-based, inclusive medical education Read Here: indiaspora.org/indias-first-…

The process of building the nation involves taking care of every single child and ensuring proper #nutrition, #education, and #healthcare for all of them. It is a long road but the journey has started and we call upon you to join us in India's largest morning nutrition program.

Children feel energetic and enthusiastic when they have eaten/drunk something nutritious before they are asked to learn or perform. In schools, the need for nutrition is high because for long hours they have to concentrate on various activities. #nutrition #poshanmaah

Even a small intervention done at the right time means a lot for a child, who would have lagged behind otherwise. Nutrition is one of the most important aspects of childhood. The feedback we get inspires us to reach out to more and more children across geographies. #nutrition

The glow on their faces is our motivation! As we go on expanding our program for more children across the country, we come across excited children who are joyous because someone is caring for them, and giving them the nutrition that helps them in better learning and development.

As we continue to expand and work on a decentralized model, we have developed a ready-to-mix health drink that contains all the necessary ingredients for a child's growth and can serve as a quick replacement for breakfast. #nutrition #PoshanMaah

Children can't bear hunger and make them concentrate on studies, learning and development is a big ask. But what if we take care of that part and let them concentrate on what schools are made for? Join India's largest morning nutrition program! annapoorna.org.in/#nutrition #poshanmaah

What this simple comic strip depicts is the direct impact that morning nutrition brings to school life. The first feedback we receive from teachers and the staff is that due to our intervention the attendance of the children has increased. They are excited to come to school.

It has been observed that with the introduction of morning nutrition, just like mid-day meal, the children's attendance, focus, and health profile go up. It helps then in giving a better chance of building their future. Join hands with Annapoorna Trust annapoorna.org.in/
