Divya Sathyaraj, popular nutritionist and daughter of ace actor Sathyaraj met the state education minister KA Sengottaiyan recently. Being the ‘Goodwill Ambassador’ of Akshaya Patra, the world’s largest mid day meal programme, Divya requested him to grant permission to extend the feeding scheme to government schools in Tamil Nadu.
“No child should be deprived of healthy food and as a nutritionist I strongly believe that a child’s body needs nutrition not just food. Underprivileged children of Tamil Nadu are malnourished and have very poor immunity. I want these children of Tamil Nadu to benefit from Akshaya Patras nutritious mid day meal programme. In that contest I met the education minister Mr.Sengottaiyan along with the team members of Akshaya Patra,” Divya stated.
