A bowl of pulses a day will undoubtedly keep the doctor away
In honour of World Pulses Day, United Way Bengaluru, supported by HCL Foundation, held interactive workshops at Anganwadi centres in Raichur, Jigani, Srirampura, Kadugodi, and Sarjapura to raise awareness about the inclusion of pulses in their daily meals. ASHA and ANMs from each region demonstrated various indigenous pulses available locally, highlighting the nutritional value critical to combating anaemia in children, pregnant and lactating women, and the elderly. Meanwhile, Anganwadi workers artistically engaged our children in learning about different pulses such as red yellow lentils, kidney beans, chickpeas, moong beans through colour games and rangolis.
