Grameen Danone Foods Limited (GDFL) won two Champion titles at the Bangladesh Project Management Symposium and Awards 2026, organised by the Project Management Institute (PMI) Bangladesh Chapter.
The Transforming Lives Through Nutrition (TLTN) Project, implemented in partnership with IDE Bangladesh, was named Champion Project of the Year in the Social Impact (Small) Category, while GDFL Senior Manager, Marketing and Projects Purba Chowdhury Joya was honoured as Champion Project Manager of the Year in the Social Impact Category.
The TLTN Project was implemented by GDFL in partnership with IDE Bangladesh in Sylhet, focusing on improving nutrition awareness and access to fortified food while creating stronger community-level distribution, said a press release on Wednesday.
The project reached more than 1,750 students and 1,250 mothers, while more than 5,000 community members were reached indirectly. It trained 64 Nutrition Entrepreneurs, conducted 58 Uthan Boithok sessions and completed seven school campaigns.
As part of the project, GDFL conducted school campaigns and Uthan Boithok sessions to engage students, mothers and community members. Nutrition knowledge and awareness were delivered to children and mothers through storytelling-based videos and interactive sessions, with quizzes and community discussions used to encourage participation. Nutrition Entrepreneurs were trained on nutrition, product knowledge, hygiene, communication, facilitation and sales.
Purba Chowdhury Joya said, “I am honoured to receive this recognition from PMI Bangladesh Chapter. TLTN was a strong learning journey for me as a project manager, and this award reflects the support of my team, partners and the communities we worked with.”
Grameen Danone Foods Limited Managing Director Surayya Siddiqua said: “The TLTN recognition reflects what can be achieved when a clear purpose is supported by strong partnerships and disciplined project management.”
