A new WorldFish short film spotlights an innovative school feeding pilot in Assam, India. The project added powdered small fish to school meals, helping tackle child malnutrition using locally available aquatic foods.

The pilot reached more than 3,000 children across 98 schools and Anganwadi centers. The powder, made from small indigenous fish species, was blended into daily meals of rice and lentils. Rich in vitamin A, iron, and zinc, these fish offer a sustainable way to fill critical nutrient gaps in children's diets.
