Rice Fortification in India
20th October 2023 @ 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM
India has taken significant steps through its program on fortification to fight the challenge of hidden hunger within the country. As part of understanding of the rice fortification program, Institute for Competitiveness and US Asia Technology Management Center have documented the effort, understanding factors that have driven its success, how to create solutions at scale, the process followed to make policy decisions, the steps taken by India through the PDS systems, etc
The documentation is an effort to look at best practices, challenges faced and how other countries can look at the exercise of fortification to create scalable solutions for enhancing the quality of life and driving nutritional outcomes in its population. We plan to release the documentation on the side-lines of the roundtable and is titled “Rice Fortification in India: Progression and Insights”
As part of the release of the documentation Institute for Competitiveness and US Asia Technology Management Center, Stanford University are organizing a round table discussion on Rice Fortification.
