The government is making considerable efforts to solve the nutritional problems.
POSHAN Abhiyaan was launched in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan in March 2018. Its large
component involves gradual scaling-up of interventions to all districts in the coun-
try by 2022. It targets stunting, under-nutrition, anaemia (among young children,
women and adolescent girls) and low birth rate. The Ministry of Women and Child
Development (MWCD) is implementing POSHAN Abhiyaan in 315 districts in the
first year, 235 districts in the second year and remaining districts will be covered in
the third year. Through robust multi-ministerial convergence mechanism and other
components POSHAN Abhiyaan strives to create the synergy.
