Poshan Abhiyaan’s Poshan Jagriti Pakhwada to run till February 29

In an effort to combat malnutrition and promote nutritional well-being, the Poshan Abhiyaan has initiated the Poshan Jagriti Pakhwada, a campaign set to be celebrated until the 29th of February. The primary focus of this campaign is to identify malnourished children and monitor their health through the nutrition campaign scheme administered by the department.

During the Poshan Jagriti Pakhwada, a series of special activities will be organized, including yoga sessions, cycling events, slogan competitions, and tree plantation drives. The overarching goal is to raise awareness about the importance of nutrition and foster healthy eating habits among the public through engaging activities and broad community participation.

The 15-day programme aims not only to identify and address malnourishment in children but also to promote a comprehensive understanding of the significance of nutrition. By integrating various line departments such as Health, Education, AYUSH, and the Forest Department, the campaign seeks to facilitate a holistic approach to address malnutrition. Poshan Jagriti Pakhwada is poised to play a crucial role in realizing the vision of a malnutrition-free India.

The collaborative efforts of multiple departments across the state underscore the commitment to eradicating malnutrition and building a healthier future for the nation. Through a blend of awareness campaigns, interactive sessions, and community-driven initiatives, the program aspires to instill a lasting impact on public health and nutrition practices, fostering positive change throughout the country.
