Problem
Calcium deficiency among growing students is common and easy to miss. The goal was to address it directly and measure the result.
My role
Director. Led the programme and worked directly with the students.
Outcome
Measurable improvements in calcium levels at follow-up assessments
How I built it
For two months, about 200 students in Raigad took NutriCal CalShield daily, with structured health assessments before and after.
Alongside the supplementation, we ran nutrition awareness activities and engaged directly with the students.
Where it is now
Follow-up assessments showed measurable improvements in calcium levels.
