POSHAN to Plate

This program begins in Delhi with a structured seminar series on nutrition governance architecture, public administration workflows, and digital monitoring platforms. Participants examine how dashboards, reporting tools, and incentive structures translate into frontline service delivery.

Through permissions-based field observations and structured interviews with frontline actors, students conduct service-journey mapping exercises to identify implementation bottlenecks and equity gaps.

The program transitions to the Jaipur corridor, where markets, household kitchens, and culinary traditions become the focus of anthropological inquiry. Participants conduct market ethnography, document pricing dynamics, and explore gendered food labor roles.

Returning to Delhi, students synthesize governance analysis with cultural insights in structured output labs, producing food-system improvement memos and culinary mini-ethnographies.
