New Delhi, 5th Jan: Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah will inaugurate the National CSR Conclave titled “Role of Corporate Social Responsibility in Nutrition Security and Malnutrition Mitigation” at Vigyan Bhawan on January 6, 2026. The conclave is being organised by the NDDB Foundation for Nutrition in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Sahkar se Samriddhi’.
The conclave will bring together policymakers, corporate leaders, cooperative institutions, scientists and beneficiary organisations to deliberate on innovative and sustainable strategies to eradicate malnutrition among children through corporate–cooperative partnerships.
During the event, Amit Shah will launch the third phase of the Giftmilk Programme under the CSR initiative of SAIL–Bhilai Steel Plant, Chhattisgarh. The programme will benefit around 4,000 children studying in government schools in mining areas of Bhilai, providing them with flavoured milk fortified with Vitamins A and D through the Chhattisgarh Milk Federation managed by NDDB.
He will also launch the Shishu Sanjeevani Programme under IDBI Bank’s CSR initiative. This programme will extend nutritional support to nearly 3,000 children studying in anganwadi centres across rural Nagpur district in Maharashtra. The Shishu Sanjeevani supplement, developed by NDDB, will be manufactured by the Bhandara Milk Union.
The conclave will feature technical sessions on ‘Nutrition and Health: Malnutrition Eradication through Public Interventions’ and ‘Corporate–Cooperative Collaboration for Nutrition Security’. Around 1,200 participants from across the country are expected to attend the national-level deliberations.
Union Ministers Rajiv Ranjan Singh (Lalan Singh), Annapurna Devi, Krishan Pal Gurjar, Murlidhar Mohol, Prof. S.P. Singh Baghel and George Kurian, along with senior government officials and NDDB Chairman Dr Meenesh Shah, will also be present at the programme.
