It is often said that you always have to make the first move. Keeping this in mind, 2019 batch IAS officer Minal Karanwal has initiated a much-needed campaign against the effects of junk food, aiming to raise awareness and encourage dietary changes to combat modern diseases.

In an innovative effort, Ms. Karanwal has launched a significant project in Nanded, Maharashtra, aimed at improving nutrition awareness and understanding. Developed in collaboration with IIT Bombay, the project seeks to clarify the science of nutrition, making it accessible and practical for the daily diets of the local community.
