The correct answer is Poshan Abhiyan.
Poshan Abhiyan is a national-level initiative launched by the Government of India in 2018 to address malnutrition among children, women, and adolescent girls. The scheme aims to improve the nutritional status of the population by providing a comprehensive package of interventions, including nutrition education, food fortification, and community-based nutrition services.
The scheme is being implemented in all states and union territories of India, with Haryana being one of the states that has made significant progress in implementing the scheme. The state government has set up a dedicated Poshan Abhiyan cell to oversee the implementation of the scheme and has also launched a number of initiatives to improve the nutritional status of the population.
Some of the key initiatives taken by the state government under Poshan Abhiyan include:
- Setting up of Anganwadis (community-based centers) in all villages and urban slums
- Providing nutrition education to mothers and caregivers
- Fortifying salt and wheat flour with iron and iodine
- Providing supplementary nutrition to children, pregnant women, and lactating mothers
- Conducting regular health checkups of children and pregnant women
The state government has also launched a number of awareness campaigns to promote the importance of nutrition and to encourage people to adopt healthy eating habits.
The implementation of Poshan Abhiyan has had a positive impact on the nutritional status of the population in Haryana. The state has seen a significant decline in the prevalence of malnutrition among children, women, and adolescent girls. The state government is committed to continuing the implementation of Poshan Abhiyan and to ensuring that all people in the state have access to nutritious food.
