The Homegrown Hero! - Karnataka Man Grows Superfoods in His Backyard to Battle Malnutrition
Spirulina Foundation - Mahesh used spirulina, a type of blue-green algae that people can take as a dietary supplement to fight malnourishment.
Spirulina is an organism that grows in both fresh and saltwater. It belongs to the family of single-celled microbes (also known as algae) and is a type of cyanobacteria.
1Tbsp = proteins, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), copper, iron, some amounts of potassium, magnesium, and manganese
Just like other plants, spirulina can be grown from sunlight via photo photosynthesis. It can be grown naturally as it does not require any use of pesticides or fertiliser.
Shelf life - two years.
One gram of spirulina every day for three months is enough to fight malnourishment.
As for the cost of production, it is not as expensive and spirulina does not require much space to grow. It can be grown in an aquarium too.

Ever wondered why the voter ink stays for so long?
The purple colour ink that is put on a person’s finger once they have voted is made up of three elements — chemicals, dyes, and a special compound silver nitrate.
Once the ink touches the surface of our skin, the silver nitrate reacts with the natural salts in our body and turns into silver chloride, this reaction takes place merely in 40 seconds!
Once the silver chloride is formed, it can’t be washed away with water and can remain on the skin for 2 to 30 days.
The sole manufacturer of the ink has been Mysore Paints and Varnish Limited. The report states that a single vile of 10 mg can cover as many as 700 voters.
