The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has said that Indian suppliers are the third largest provider of organisation’s health and nutrition support to children globally.  Indian businesses have supplied goods and services worth nearly six billion dollars to UNICEF for its global work. UNICEF’s supply division Director, Leila Pakkala, who was on her first official visit to India, said that Indian suppliers of life-saving goods and services for children are key to UNICEF’s work for children globally. She also mentioned that UNICEF values these contributions which are central to its mission of saving the lives of the most vulnerable children not only in India but around the world.
