Women and Child Development Ministry to celebrate the 5th Poshan Pakhwada

The Women and Child Development Ministry will celebrate the 5th Poshan Pakhwada beginning tomorrow with various activities nationwide. It aims to raise awareness about the importance of nutrition and promote healthy eating habits through Jan Andolan and Jan Bhagidari. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched Poshan Abhiyaan on the 8th of March 2018, which is instrumental in ensuring people’s participation and bringing the discourse on nutrition to the forefront.

The theme of this year’s Poshan Pakhwada 2023 is Nutrition for All: Together Towards a Healthy India. With the declaration of 2023 as the International Year of Millets, this year the focus of Poshan Pakhwada will be to popularise Shree Anna’- the mother of all grains, as a valuable asset to address malnutrition. During the Poshan Pakhwada, campaigns will be organised to increase awareness and popularise Saksham Anganwadis with upgraded infrastructure and facilities. The Ministry said, around three crore activities were held across the country during Poshan Pakhwada last year. Behavioural change at the individual and community levels is an important component to achieve the desired goals of a Kuposhan-mukt Bharat. (AIR NEWS)
