Rethinking India's First 1000 Days
from The Good Sight Podcast Hosted by The Good Sight Podcast
India's nutrition story begins long before a child enters school. In this episode of Nutrition Every Day – Season 2, we speak with Rohini Saran, a public health and nutrition expert with nearly two decades of experience across maternal and child health, nutrition, and policy, about why the first 1000 days—from pregnancy to a child's second birthday—are the foundation for lifelong health and development. We explore how nutrition is shaped not only by food, but also by maternal health, sanitation, healthcare access, education, income, and community awareness. From tackling persistent malnutrition and addressing India's dual nutrition burden to strengthening systems and fostering the right mindset, this conversation examines what it will take to give every child the healthiest possible start in life. #NutritionEveryDay #First1000Days #MaternalHealth #ChildNutrition #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment #Nutrition #PublicHealth #MaternalNutrition #Malnutrition #IndiaHealth #WomenHealth #InfantNutrition #HealthPolicy #NutritionForAll #EarlyLifeNutrition #ChildDevelopment Credits: Guest: Rohini Saran Host: Shreya M Research: Alisha C Artwork: Priyanka Produced by: The Good Sight Concept: The Good Sight & Rise Against Hunger India
