Children and their brains, contrary to popular beliefs about their physical stamina, get tired of
the heterogeneously diverse process of education pretty easily. They tend to get exhausted
when an overload of information is provided. The brain works on fuel, fuel that comes from
nutrition, provided by a balanced diet of greens, carbs, and proteins. Nutrition hence is a
fundamental necessity for nourishing the children’s brains and bodies, so that the crucial
battles in their lives go resolved like a breeze.
But is it that easy to feed the greens to a kid? Is it that easy to trick their taste buds into
thinking that it is delicious?
Vardhman Podar Learn School, a renowned School in Seoni, tells you the trick!
THE PURPOSE OF NUTRITION DAY
As per a 2017 UNICEF India report, children suffering from malnutrition had an apparent
decline in their cognitive development score compared to the well-nourished. A balanced diet
with the required abundance of necessary proteins, minerals, and vitamins enhances
children’s concentration and memory power. Neither malnutrition nor obesity is normalised
and hence the need for restricting and expanding diets in accordance to the needs of the child
is necessary for a well-maintained BMI and a happier lifestyle.
For a place where children spend most of their day time, a healthy environment for students’
lunches of a school in Mahakaushal, provides an array of mandatory components in the
food served to students, with the introduction of Nutrition Day.
WHAT IS A NUTRITION DAY?
At VPLS, the weekly menu of lunch is full of diversity, as the curious buzz of students
excited to try out new flavours and cuisines, fills up the room. With its expanded menu, it
caters to different tastes and incorporates multiple fusions to give the children an exposure of
Indian cultures and delicacies.
Justifying itself to be one of the top 10 schools in Seoni, every Monday of a working week is
reserved to be a ‘Nutrition Day’, when one edible item is specified as a mandatory ingredient
or vegetable for the day’s lunch, such as brinjal, cabbage, dry fruits, beetroot, etc.
CONTRIBUTING TO HOLISTIC WELLNESS
At VPLS, we solidify the role of nutrition in a student’s academic and personal development.
With our diverse menu of balanced meals, we integrate the well-being of the kids with their
performance. By strengthening the roots of our curriculum, faculty, and infrastructure, we
emphasise the dietary plan equally.
MANAGING ALLERGIES
With prior information on what allergens trouble your kid, we carefully substitute the
ingredients for their ease, so as to manage their allergies.
INVITES PARENTS TO TRY NEW IDEAS TO MAKE FOOD LOVABLE
Successfully trying out new innovative dishes to include the element in the dish and making
the kids try it out, creates an environment of habitual intake of the greens and beans, for the
proper growth and development. With this, VPLS invites the guardians of our students to try
and figure out interesting ways to make even the bitter gourd yummy!
Tasked with the nurturing responsibility of thousands of children, At Vardhman Podar Learn
School Seoni we take up the initiative of promoting healthy eating habits and prioritising the
essential aspect of nutrition for kids. This initiative is called our Nutrition Day!
