This is the presentation for the UN challenge millenium development goal challenge. This was delivered at the Hult business school, san francisco.
Here we were looking at solving an very important problem of nutrition in urban slums. We had worked out on a novel solution for it which also could have made the model sustainable.

Need-gap
analysis
Processing
Distribution
ď Analyze current Diet pattern and nutrition requirements
MAP THE NEED GAP (Analysis of customer requirements)
MANAGE THE BACKPACK (Processing & Storage)
ď Excess food would be collected and appropriately processed
ď A storage facility would be designed for the same
REACH THE CUSTOMERS (Distribution)
ďVia local retail stores and mobile distribution system

Food
Collection
⢠Collection of excess food from Parties, Airlines, Cafeterias, grocery
stores, warehouses
⢠Slum dwellers are engaged in collection
Food
Segregation
⢠Smart Plastic changes color based upon O2 content
⢠Container with such material would indicate freshness of food
based upon O2/CO2 content

ď Food products (fruits/ vegetables)
stored in a specially designed
structure (named
GEMINUS â(double) OLLA (pot)
,which acts like a cold storage
ď Serves as an alternative to store
perishable food (Fruits/Vegetables)
for longer periods
ď Can be implemented in every
farmerâs house in the form of a pot
in between another pot
ď Provides a source of employment
GEMINUS OLLA

13. CLEAN KITCHEN FACILITY
Procurement
⢠Near FOOD MANAGER a kitchen facility would be there
Cooking
⢠The GoI has a program that distributes foodgrains at 4-8 cents a
kg upto 35 kg a month
⢠Slum dwellers can come in and cook their food here.
Distribution
⢠Slum dweller can take this clean and safe food back to their
home

- Name of all family members
- Their ages
- Medical history
- Mobile number(s)
STEP 1: Registration of Slum Dwellers (per household)
STEP 2: ID Connection to the Micro-credit account

21. HEALTHCARE AND SANITATION PROGRAM
ď 80% of diseases in developing
nations are water and sanitation
related
ď People from urban slums pay on
average 4-100x more per liter of
water
ď Women and girls spend 1-3 hours
each day collecting water
ď Governments spend $ 16 billion
in alleviating water related health
ailments

- Feeding a child food rich in various
veggies and fish;
- Using an entire pack of Sprinkles to
feed a child per day;
- Breastfeeding
- Not feeding too liquid a porridge to a child;

⢠Family of 5- Needs 300 meals a month
⢠Cost of 1 nutritious meal currently =$0.4
⢠For a family that is about = $ 120/month ( > income)
⢠Total meals for Saastev to prepare/day = 10*1000
⢠Cost of ensuring nutritious meals in a slum= $3600
â Labor cost (transportation, packaging and distribution) = $ 1500/month
â Nutrition expert cost - >$ 800/month
â Packaging cost = $ 300/month
â Micronutrient cost = $ 1000/month
Cost of ensuring nutritious meals for 1 family at Sastev =
$ 3.6/month/family

47. REVENUE CALCULATIONS
⢠Average family earning monthly = $100/month
⢠Average urban family spends $15/month on ICT
⢠And it spends about $ 15/month on personal care, food, personal care
items from FMCG etc.
⢠They get 30 credits for dollar 30 worth of buying.
⢠And Saastev gets $ 30*0.05 = $1.5 /month from every household.
⢠So we are able to generate half of the revenue from food.
⢠Other would be generated from donations and
⢠In future there would be an increase in spending in ICT and personal care
which would make the system more sustainable.
48. COST CALCULATIONS
⢠Cost / nutritious meal = $ 0.4
⢠Saastev gets processed food for free
- Transportation cost = $ 800 /month/Slum(of 5000) (20 kg/person/hour)
⢠Need 8 such people for transporting 1200 kg of food for thousand
households for 2 times a day to food repository and back.)
Cost of them = 8*($ 100)
- Food distribution according to nutrition = $1.6K
- Packaging = $ 0.01 packet = $ 300 / month
- Packaging laborers = $ 500/month
Total cost = $ 3200/month
= $ 3.2/ month/family for no profit no loss

From map the need gap : Demand of food composition for various target

52. WASTE FOOD COLLECTION
ď Develop a Council for weekly/ daily
food waste collection service.
ď Truck service could be used for waste
collection and people can be
employed from the same slum.
ď Recycling credits could be given as a
direct financial incentive to encourage
more recycling and reduce the
amount of rubbish to be sent to
landfill.
53. WASTE FOOD SEGREGATION
ď Use of âSmart plasticsâ Technique : Detect
change in colour
ď Developed by Professor Andrew Millsat
Strathclyde University.
ď Utilizes a color-based oxygen indicator to
show when oxygen has got into the pack
ď Also possible to control its recovery once
the package is opened to create a
'consume-within' indicator
ď For the smart oxygen-sensitive plastics a
semiconducting material, titanium
dioxide is used
54. COLLECTED FOOD USAGE
ď Food would be segregated into 3 waste
categories:
1. Usable Food
2. Partially Usable Food
3, Unusable Food
ď Reusable food can be used under the
recycling and reusable credit system.
ď Unusable part can be used to produce
biogas (heat and energy) in incineration
plants or manure in fertilizer factories.
