A |     New Delhi, Oct 19 ( UNI) Chegg, the leading student-first online learning company and SEEDS (Sustainable Ecological Environmental Development Society) distributed over 15,500 nutrition kits to school children in Delhi and Visakhapatnam.
As superfoods are known for the health benefits of their remarkable nutrient density, over 90 schools were selected with the majority of the children from low-income families.
From Visakhapatnam, where students come from rural communities, 66 schools were selected. In Delhi, about 28 schools under the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) were selected for the distribution, to promote the overall well-being of children.
"As a result of growing global crises such as climate change, COVID-19 and food insecurity, the marginalized groups of society suffer the most, especially children. We believe that providing school children from underprivileged families with superfoods will build their immunity, enabling them to learn effectively in classrooms" said Dr Manu Gupta, Co-Founder, SEEDS.
With the provision of these healthy food kits, the children were introduced to healthy eating habits. A nutritious diet contributes to their physical health, which results in a healthy mind for learning.
In addition to improving their health after the COVID-19 pandemic, the distribution of nutrient-rich food items in schools was also intended to help children by giving them the food they needed for growth.
“It was important for us to work with these children for Chegg’s Global Day of Impact. We are a learners first company, and we are happy to be working with SEEDS to provide healthy and nutritious meals to over 15,500 students across Delhi-NCR and Visakhapatnam" said Vijay T.S. Managing Director, Chegg India.
Several dignitaries, government representatives and members of the school administration were present at the distribution of nutrition kits at the MCD Shakarpur School in Delhi.
UNI JA SHK1900。    Karachi, Oct 11 (UNI) Nobel laureate Malala Yousufzai arrived in Karachi on Tuesday to visit the flood-stricken areas of Pakistan, media reports said.

Yousufzai is being accompanied by her parents during the trip amid strict security.

Nobel laureate and girls' education campaigner is visiting the flood-affected areas to raise international awareness regarding the devastation caused by climate change in the South Asian nation.

Pakistan witnessed more than usual monsoon showers this season that sparked countrywide flooding and left a third of the nation underwater, causing damage to standing crops and roads and rail tracks in Sindh and Balochistan.

Yousufzai is expected to extend assistance from the Malala Fund for flood relief, according to Geo news reports.

In the first week of September, the Malala Fund issued an emergency relief grant to the International Rescue Committee (IRC).

The IRC will use the funds to provide psychosocial support to girls and women in flood-hit Sindh and Balochistan.

The funding will also be used to deliver emergency education services to ensure girls continue their education.

The assistance from the Malala Fund will help repair and rehabilitate ten damaged government schools for girls.

This is the second time that the 2014 Nobel peace prize winner has visited Pakistan.

In 2014, Yousafzai became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 17 in recognition of her efforts for children's rights.
