In the past, the people of Gujarat, especially the women folks and the children, suffered largely, of improper and insufficient diet. Among the socially and financially backward classes, the most prevalent sickness was Anemia. This anemic conditions were due to lack of healthy diet and availability and affordability of strength providing food. As a result, eventually the sufferer had to resort to absorbing expensive vitamin supplements, which caused a huge hole in people’s pockets.
The realization regarding this awareness against healthy food began in 2005. From January 2005 to 2007, various programmes about this , were planned. Through seminars and alertness, a simplest solution of adding Iron supplements, to food products was projected. These programmes were hugely successful and they were conducted on a public-private partnership. Many known personalities have been part of such projects.
Gujarat Govt. and the Hon. C.M. sensed the urgent need to create a generation of healthy and strong citizens and to put this into action, he inspired the private corporate to raise a hand of aiding the concerned project.
The Gujarat Roller Floor Miller Association, assisted Gujarat Govt. Micronutrient Initiatives [Canada and India]Wheat Production Promotion Society of India and the Chemical and Engineering Industries to get this project in the action.
The first phase of the scheme included buying the raw-material at the reasonable rate, providing technical assistance etc. The state Govt. provides 50% concession to the floor mills, for the materials to be added in the floor as well oil.
In the first phase, the Govt. resolute to prepare the 2.5 lakhs ton Wheat floor and add Iron Folic Acid prepared by the Nicholas Piramal India Ltd. The healthy Wheat Floor would be marketed at 10 kg. package, with a health trade mark on it. Every kilo of wheat would contain 30 miligrames of Iron and Folic Acid added to it.
In the intial stage, the state Govt. began distributing this healthy wheat supplemented floor to the ration card holders in the Fair Price Shops.
After successfully implementing this mega project in the open market, the state Govt. planned to execute this plan in the Hospitals, Jail, Hostels, Ashram and such institutes, Mid-day meal scheme etc. on a grand scale.
To unearth, the outcome of this healthy Wheat scheme, the Sports Authority of Gujarat, had arranged a programme in March 2006. The sports person of different financial backgrounds and belonging to different sports were included for sampling. Out of the 19 people [men and women], it was revealed that after using the Fortified Floor, their level of Hemoglobin had risen considerably. Their input, physical capacity and level of energy increased greatly.
As this initiatives by Gujarat Govt. turned out to be highly successful, the UN WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME, decided to provide aid to this scheme, where as the Punjab and Haryana Govt. invited the officials of Gujaarat to prepare such samplings.
The Gujarat State Rationing Dept. distributes 50,000 matrix ton of such Fortfied floor where as the entire usage of wheat is about 3 lakhs tones.
In January 2007, the different Oil Mills of the state, Refiner and Packers prepared about 9,02,259 m. tones of Oil, adding this fortified supplements.
The progress of Gujarat is not lopsided, avoiding or overlooking the healthyness of the common men residing there. It is inclusive and promotes the development of health and wealth simultaneously.
For Shri Narendra Modiji, the well being of the citizens of Gujarat, is at the top of his priority...
