1 COULD YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR PAST ASSOCIATION WITH INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS SUCH AS FAO, UNICEF? WHAT WAS THE LEARNING?

I have been associated with FAO and UNICEF for development of ready-to-use therapeutic food for severely malnourished children. The project was to develop a product which was superior than what was developed and manufactured by others and to produce and supply the same to UNICEF under annual contract mode. My second assignment with FAO was to guide them for development of cold chain for milk for the third world countries. In both the assignments I was closely associated with international agencies as well as experts. The best learning from both these assignments was how international agencies are working towards humanity and upliftment of the underprivileged. Through my association I could, in a small way, contribute in their endeavour to overcome nutrition deficiency
