17 Tiranga Bhojan or Tri-Colour Meal is a concept used by CINI to help
pregnant and lactating women and children inculcate right food
habits and achieve a balanced diet with locally available food
items. They are instructed to follow the colours of the national
flag, the white for milk, eggs and similar food items; the green
for fresh green vegetables and the saffron for ripe fruits, fish and
meat, a combination of all three being necessary for a balanced
diet that will help prevent anemia. Around Tiranga Bhiajan, there
are group exercises, theatre, and also, nutrition counselling
by Sahiyya, BFA and the field animator from CINI. Importance
of Tiranga Bhojan is often discussed in the adolescent girls
meetings too and they take part in all these IEC activities as well.
