Setback

While looking at the Nutritional Content of SSV I thought why not attempt to try and solve the problem from a more grassroots level i.e. by trying to implement a healthy eating scheme within Shakha. However there is a big difference between having an idea, talking to others about it and actually going ahead with such a plan. From talking to others there seemed to be a positive reaction to such a scheme yet when it came down to the crunch everyone had things to do on that particular day.

It does become slightly dis-heartening when you put in effort to try and change things even slightly and yet the response isn’t there and although I did feel like this for a time I decided there is no point in ruing the chance but instead to create another chance and look at what can be improved upon to make sure this does not occur again. So I’m trying to strip it down to basics and think what would entice me to such a scheme...

Progress and Problems?

Whilst researching for different ways of taking the Sangh Sandesh Interactive I have compiled a short questionnaire to aid in my research which can be found here:

The questionnaire and its answers shall enable me to hone the wants and needs of swaysevaks and sevikas in relation to the Sangh Sandesh. The main problem shall be the time limit in which responses can be taken as if responses are taken too late I shall not have enough time to research the feasibility and act upon such points.

With regards to the Nutritional content of SSV the main problem I have faced so far is assessing the calorific content of such foods since there are many websites and walkthroughs on how to calculate the calorie intake of most ingredients yet when it comes down to Indian dishes this task is much more difficult. Especially since with Indian dishes there are generally no set ingredients with most participants that I have asked on how they create the same food giving varied answers. This is another obstacle which has to be overcome in some manner.
