  • Nestlé supports ‘Nanhi Kali’; changes packaging

    Nestlé supports ‘Nanhi Kali’; changes packaging

    MUMBAI: Nestlé India has changed the packaging of its iconic brands, Maggi, Nescafe and Kitkat to support girl child education in association with Nanhi Kali, an NGOs imparting education to underprivileged girl children across India.

    In an attempt to spread awareness about this crucial issue, Nestlé has changed packaging of 100 million packs available on shelves till September-end.

    Project Nanhi Kali was initiated in 1996 by the K. C. Mahindra Education Trust (KCMET) with the aim of providing primary education to underprivileged girl children in India.

    The changes include, Maggi’s tagline going from ‘2 minute noodles’ to ‘2 minutes for education,’ Kitkat’ to ‘No break from education’, and Nescafe changed the tagline to ‘It all starts with education.’ This has been further reinforced with a blue band which carries more information on the association with ‘Nanhi Kali.’

    Nestlé India MD and chairman Suresh Narayanan said, “Each time a consumer picks a pack, the visual properties of the brand serve as symbols of the promise the brand has made to the consumers. We are changing the packaging of three of our most iconic brands to sensitize and draw attention to the crucial need for society.”

    Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra added, “This is a path-breaking and innovative partnership between Nestlé India and a non-profit organisation.”

    The partnership with Nanhi Kali further strengthens the Nestlé Healthy Kids Programme which has already reached out to about 1,00,000 beneficiaries. Project Nanhi Kali, jointly managed by K. C. Mahindra Education Trust and Naandi Foundation, has been a credible programme.
