Ministry of Women and Child Development is celebrating Poshan Pakhwada from March 16 to 31, 2021.
Addressing nutritional challenges through Food Forestry and organizing Poshan Panchayats are the key focus areas for Poshan Pakhwada 2021.
Poshan Panchayat will be organized involving members of PRIs for generating awareness on topics like malnutrition prevalence and its consequences, Poshan Vatika, food forestry, identification of SAM/MAM children and its management.
Poshan Abhiyaan, launched by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 8, 2018, has reached a long way in ensuring wider people’s participation. Poshan Abhiyaan endeavors to improve nutritional outcomes in a holistic manner in convergence with other Ministries.
