In order to inform adolescents about the benefits of proper nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, Nestle India signed an agreement Wednesday with Magic Bus India Foundation, an NGO, a company statement said here.
Magic Bus, an organisation which intends to move children out of poverty by nurturing them on a journey from childhood to livelihood, will create a curriculum based on the Sports for Development (S4D) approach, imparting knowledge about nutrition, and a healthy and active lifestyle, the statement said.
