Mrs. Ratna Banerjee – Trustee, SAMPARC is coordinating the Project with Project In-charge, Counsellors, House-mothers, Kitchen Staff and other Helpers. At SAMPARC Balgram – there is no compromise in terms of Food & Nutrition. Presently, total 160 Destitute Girls are residing at SAMPARC Balgram – Bhaje. Most of the Children come with very poor background – Orphans – Single-parent Children – Children of Convicted People or Children of Sex-workers. Naturally they suffer from Mal-nutrition. So, the primary challenge is to cure them from Mal-nutrition, giving them Nutritious Food along with good food-habit which can lead to Good Health.
At SAMPARC Balgram, the Diet Chart is adviced by Doctor and expert Dietitian. Food Committee of the Bal-Panchayet (Children’s Committee) plays important role to decide the Daily Menu.The daily food contains Pulses, Grains, Vegetables, Sprouts, Leafy vegetables, Fruits and Milk having right proportion of Carbohydrate, Protein, Fat, Vitamin & Minerals.The Children get Breakfast, Lunch, Evening Tiffin and Dinner.The regular diet of each child consists of 200 gm Wheat, 150 gm Rice, 40 gm Pulses, 50 gm Sprouts, 200 gm Vegetables, 200 gm Chicken (every Sunday) 2 Eggs (every Friday) along with 200 ml Milk every day in the evening along with seasonal fruit like Apple, Banana, Orange, Papaya, Watermelon etc.Children get Special Breakfast every Sunday like Idli - Sambar, Pav Bhaji, Misal Pav, Sabu-dana Khichdi etc.Pure Drinking Water is ensured by Water-purifier which is maintained properly by regular servicing.Food is prepared in cleaned Kitchen and the Dining Hall is also cleaned with Sanitizer every time after Food is served to maintain all sorts of Hygiene issues.
During this Period, overall Health of the Girls was Good enough except some minor problems of Cough & Cold which were taken care of by the visiting Doctor. Some Girls were provided special Diet for their Low Hb Count. They are improving day by day.
