Tackling obesity and malnutrition head-on

In pursuit of this goal, the ministry of women and child development is resolved to build a New Bharat where every child is well-nourished, every mother is empowered, and every citizen can thrive.

Through Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0, we aim to improve nutritional outcomes in children, adolescent girls, pregnant women and lactating mothers and to promote practices that nurture health, wellness and immunity. The nucleus of the operation is a network of 14 lakh anganwadi centres through which the ministry is supporting around 10 crore beneficiaries.
