A Sangh-backed think tank, the Deen Dayal Upadhaya Research Institute (DRI) wants the government to consider nutritional needs over food security; it has proposed a “Nanaji Thali”, a concept that uses locally grown produce to meet nutritional requirements.
Named after Nanaji Deshmukh, whose birth centenary celebrations are underway, the thali (plate) suggests incorporating indigenous crops and produce that are part of food habits of the people.
