Nanhi Kali, jointly managed by K. C. Mahindra Education Trust and Naandi Foundation is one of the largest community programs imparting education to underprivileged girl children across India. The duo of the NGO and Nestle have earlier also shot a social advertisement supporting girl education.“Each time a consumer picks a pack off the shelf, the visual properties of the brand serve as symbols of the promise the brand has made to the consumers. These are invaluable assets, protected, cherished and treasured by organisations. We are changing the packaging of three of our most iconic brands to sensitise and draw attention to the crucial need for society and citizens to embrace our collective responsibility in ensuring girls are allowed, given access to and nurtured with the power of education,” Nestle India CMD Suresh Narayanan was quoted by Indian Express.
