With an unwavering commitment to fostering holistic growth and development, LG India is embarking on this significant endeavour to address the critical issue of childhood malnutrition and contribute to a healthier generation. The “Life’s Good Nutrition Program” will see LG India collaborate with two esteemed organizations, Akshaya Patra and Annapoorna Trust, renowned for their outstanding efforts in providing nutritious meals to children.
