An India Positive Citizen initiative
About Us
Nourishing Lives, Building Communities Welcome to Poshan Pack by India
Positive Citizen, a heartfelt initiative born from the collective desire to make a positive
impact on the lives of those around us. At Poshan Pack, we believe that small acts of
kindness can create powerful ripples of change, especially when it comes to addressing the
pressing issue of inadequate nutrition.
Be Part of the Journey
Poshan Pack isn't just an initiative; it's a journey that anyone can
embark upon. Whether you're an individual, a family, a school, a
business, or an organization, your involvement matters. Together, we can
create a healthier, happier India for all.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a healthier, more nourished India where every
individual has access to wholesome and nutritious foods. Our mission is to bridge the gap
between those who have and those who don't by empowering individuals to share the goodness
of fresh vegetables and fruits with those in need.
Our Purpose
Poshan Pack is more than just a charitable endeavor – it's a movement
fueled by compassion, unity, and the spirit of giving. We recognize that good health is a
fundamental right, and we're committed to ensuring that nutrition is not a privilege, but a
universal entitlement.
Poshan Pack is the brainchild of Savitha Rao - the founder of India Positive
Citizen. A nation building initiative. One action, once a week, every week.
Our Approach
Our approach is simple yet impactful. We encourage individuals to purchase an
extra pack of vegetables and fruits during their regular grocery shopping and share it with
someone in need. This act of giving not only provides nourishment but also spreads smiles,
hope, and a sense of belonging.
Why Poshan Pack Matters
In a nation where malnutrition remains a persistent challenge, Poshan Pack offers a tangible solution. By nurturing bodies with wholesome foods, we're nurturing dreams, potential, and the well-being of communities. Our commitment extends beyond filling stomachs; it's about igniting a movement that fuels progress.
