Telangana Foods turns into role model for country in Take Home Ration models
Telangana Foods has been recognized by the Indian government as a national role model for its effective Take Home Ration (THR) manufacturing and distribution model. The state-owned enterprise currently supplies nutritious food to millions of children and women across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Why it matters
This recognition highlights successful public-sector nutrition initiatives that could serve as a blueprint for addressing malnutrition on a national scale in India.
Telangana Foods, the State government-owned nutrition food manufacturing enterprise, which has completed five decades of its service in supplying nutritious food to children and women, has been recommended by the Central government as the role model to be replicated across the country.
The recognition for Telangana Foods has come from a recent Government of India exercise to examine different Take Home Ration (THR) models being implemented in various States.
A committee constituted by the Centre, in association with international organisations GAIN and UNICEF, studied different models and reportedly recommended the Telangana model of manufacture and supply through Telangana Foods as a unique and effective model that could be replicated across the country.
