The WCD department implements several developmental programmes and key welfare schemes like Mamata, Poshan Abhiyaan, Mukhyamantri Sampoorna Pushti Yojana (MSPY), Supplementary Nutrition Programme (SNP) and Adivika besides the recently launched flagship scheme Subhadra for women empowerment.

Sources said, the independent command centre will serve as a centralised platform to oversee the performance of these schemes, address operational challenges, and provide real-time solutions to stakeholders.
