Dear Sir,

In order to improve the micronutrition of children or rural people,

If we issue part of the wages in the form of "Kind" instead of complete cash mode: in our childhood days we (children) were asked to shell the groundnuts for money and sometimes they give away part of the shrivelled groundnut seeds as "kind" form. Since this task is being done by machines and also due to the law act against child labour, kind form of wages became extinct. This process/mechanisation could be different but issuing the wages parts in the form of "kind" could be brought into practice again.

Thanks
