Provide nutritious food to children

Vizianagaram: AP Child Rights Protection Commission member Kesali Apparao on Friday distributed food basket consisting of pulses, flour or millets and rice to the poorest of poor children and instructed the parents not to ignore the health of children.

Speaking on the occasion, he said that the children should be given balanced and nutritious food for their healthy growth. He said even the pregnant women should be given utmost care till they give birth to infants and added the children under the age group of five years should be taken more care.

“The healthier society would be formed with healthy citizens only. It is very unfortunate to hear that most families are suffering from malnutrition and we should overcome it by consuming pulses, vegetables and fruits,” he said.
