The Gap We Address

India has frameworks. Most children don't reach them.

The Government of India has invested significantly in child health infrastructure — RBSK, POSHAN Abhiyaan, the National School Health Programme. These frameworks are clinically sound and nationally mandated. The gap is the last mile: the family that cannot read the pamphlet, cannot navigate the ASHA worker's caseload, cannot use the app that assumes a smartphone and literacy.

NutriNirog Foundation does not duplicate government effort. We reach the families that existing infrastructure cannot practically serve — and we generate the structured, clinical-grade health data that helps both families and systems respond.

See Our Approach
68%
of Indian children under 5 are anaemic — NFHS-5

Iron deficiency anaemia is the single most prevalent nutritional disorder in Indian children. It impairs cognitive development, reduces school attendance, and compounds through childhood. A structured screening identifies it in under three minutes. Without a screening, it is invisible until it is not.

40M+
children have unaddressed developmental needs — largely undiagnosed

Autism, developmental delays, and learning disabilities are not conditions exclusive to children in urban private schools. They exist at the same rates in every community. The difference is whether a structured assessment ever happens. In communities without access, the child is simply labelled slow, difficult, or inattentive — and the window for early intervention closes.

school-age children have Vitamin D deficiency despite Indian sunlight

Paradoxically, urban and semi-urban Indian children show epidemic Vitamin D deficiency due to indoor schooling and dietary patterns. Left unaddressed, this compounds into immunity deficits, bone health concerns, and mood and concentration issues that depress academic performance. Dietary guidance, delivered by a trained worker after a structured assessment, corrects this at negligible cost.

The Field Model

Clinically grounded. Entirely field-delivered.

Identification through institutional partnerships

Communities are identified through partnerships with corporate medical departments, district school administrations, municipal bodies, and community health infrastructure. We do not rely on families to self-identify or apply.

Trained field workers conduct structured screenings

A NutriNirog-trained field worker visits the community or school. Assessments follow a standardised protocol covering nutrition, immunity, sleep pattern, focus indicators, gut health signals, and mood and energy — aligned to ICMR-NIN 2020 and RBSK frameworks. No smartphone. No app. Paper-based, then digitised.

Data entered into NutriNirog clinical engine

Field data is transcribed manually by NutriNirog Ops into the clinical platform. The engine — governed by a PhD-level Science Lead and pre-authored against ICMR-NIN standards — generates individual health action plans for each child. This is not AI-generated advice. It is a clinically signed recommendation library, selected by algorithm.

Health guidance delivered to families in accessible form

Outputs are delivered as printed health summary cards, via community health workers, WhatsApp voice notes, or ASHA worker briefings — whatever medium the family can actually use. The guidance is in Hindi, adapted per region. No literacy assumed.

Aggregate reporting to institutional partners and CSR funders

Anonymised, aggregate health outcome data — nutrition flag rates, deficiency prevalence, screening coverage, resolution tracking — is compiled into formal reports for corporate CSR boards, government partners, and institutional funders. All individual data is protected under DPDPA 2023 and stored exclusively on AWS Mumbai.

Screening Protocol — Per Child
01
Anthropometrics — height, weight, MUAC, BMI-for-age against ICMR-NIN norms
02
Dietary history — 24-hr recall, meal frequency, food group coverage
03
Clinical signs — pallor, Bitot's spots, goitre, dental, skin, vision flags
04
Sleep & energy pattern — structured observation checklist, caregiver report
05
Developmental indicators — age-appropriate milestones, attention and focus screen
06
Health action plan — generated by clinical engine, delivered in accessible format
Clinical governance: All recommended actions are pre-authored and signed off by a PhD-qualified Science Lead against ICMR-NIN 2020 standards. The engine selects from a signed library. It does not generate advice.
Assessment Domains

Six domains. One coherent health picture.

Each domain is assessed through a structured, field-validated checklist. Outputs are clinically matched to ICMR-NIN 2020 reference ranges, producing a health action for each domain — and a single priority action for the family to act on first.

Nutrition

Dietary recall and anthropometric assessment mapped to ICMR-NIN RDA values for iron, calcium, zinc, B12, and folate. Deficiency flags raised before clinical presentation. Food-first corrective guidance, no supplementation assumptions.

Sleep

Structured caregiver interview covering sleep duration, quality, and consistency. Corrective guidance adapted for the specific household — not imported from Western sleep science applied to Indian domestic realities.

Immunity

Seasonal illness frequency, vaccination status review, Vitamin D and C dietary adequacy assessment. Guidance accounts for local air quality context and regional disease patterns — not generic national averages.

Focus & Learning

Observation-based attention and developmental milestone screen. Omega-3, iron, and B-vitamin dietary adequacy assessed. School attendance and teacher-reported performance flagged where school access exists for cross-referencing.

Gut Health

Fibre intake, hydration, stool pattern, and appetite caregiver report. Gut health signals are upstream indicators of immunity and mood outcomes — assessed as part of the full-domain picture, not in isolation.

Mood & Energy

Behavioural energy and mood pattern caregiver report correlated with magnesium, B-complex, and tryptophan dietary adequacy. Flagged outputs are nutritional, not behavioural — keeping guidance actionable for caregivers.

Extended Protocol — Clinician Referred
Developmental & Behavioural Support Track

Activated only when a qualified clinician determines extended assessment is warranted. Structured nutritional and behavioural guidance protocols aligned to RCI-credentialed therapy frameworks. Identical clinical quality to private clinical settings — delivered to families who would otherwise have no access at all.

Why This Matters

Structured data where none existed before.

A health screening generates something more valuable than the advice it produces in that moment. It generates a record — a baseline against which change can be measured. For communities that have never had structured health data, this is foundational.

Government health programmes are increasingly data-driven. RBSK, POSHAN Abhiyaan, and the National School Health Programme all depend on ground-level data to allocate resources correctly. NutriNirog Foundation's field screenings generate exactly this data — in a structured, clinically validated format that can be aggregated, analysed, and reported upward through official channels.

For a corporate partner, this means your CSR contribution does not disappear into a general fund. It produces a documented, measurable health intervention — with records that demonstrate outcomes to your board, to your auditors, and to the Ministry.

"The most expensive health outcome is the one that was preventable and wasn't prevented — because no one ever looked."

Questions

Frequently asked by partners and funders.

No. The entire screening, data collection, and guidance delivery process is designed to work without any technology on the family's side. Field workers conduct assessments using structured paper-based checklists. Health action plans are delivered as printed summary cards, through community health workers, or via WhatsApp voice notes — depending on what the family can actually use. Smartphone ownership and literacy in any language are explicitly not assumed.
The clinical intelligence — the ICMR-NIN validated assessment frameworks and recommendation library — is the same. The delivery model is entirely different. The commercial NutriNirog platform (nutrinirog.com) is a parent-facing digital product used by families who can engage with a mobile application daily. The Foundation's model is field-delivered, paper-first, and manually digitised. We serve communities for whom the commercial product is not a realistic option. Same clinical rigour. Completely different operational model.
Child health, nutrition, and preventive healthcare are explicitly listed under Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013. Contributions to NutriNirog Foundation for field screening programmes are designed to qualify. Your company's CSR committee and statutory auditor should confirm eligibility in the context of your specific filing requirements. We provide the complete documentation chain — utilisation certificate, aggregate outcome report, formal acknowledgement letter, and 80G receipt upon certification — that auditors require for Schedule VII compliance filing.
All individual child health data is governed by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and stored exclusively on AWS ap-south-1 (Mumbai). India data residency is maintained — no data leaves Indian jurisdiction. Data shared with corporate partners is anonymised and aggregated — it never contains individually identifiable child records. The Foundation does not share, sell, or use individual child health data for any purpose beyond generating health guidance for that specific child.
The Foundation programme is not geographically restricted. We serve underserved communities wherever we have institutional partnerships that enable access — whether that is a government school in Delhi, a municipal community in Gurugram, a steel township in Jharkhand, or a rural block in any state. Corporate partners typically sponsor programmes in communities relevant to their own operational footprint. We coordinate field deployment accordingly.
Every recommendation in the NutriNirog action library is pre-authored and individually signed off by a PhD-qualified Food Science and Nutrition specialist against ICMR-NIN 2020 standards. The platform selects from this signed library — it does not generate recommendations using AI or any generative system. NutriNirog is a structured nutrition intelligence platform. It is not a diagnostic tool and does not substitute for qualified medical care. A medical disclaimer is provided to all families at the point of guidance delivery.
The Foundation is in the process of obtaining 80G certification under the Income Tax Act, 1961. Once granted, donations will qualify for 50% deduction under Section 80G. Donors receive a receipt with full utilisation details. Write to foundation@nutrinirog.com for current certification status and documentation requirements before making a contribution.
