“It is very unfortunate that even after 70 years of independence, children are malnourished. This is happening because children are not properly fed and pregnant mothers are not taking proper diet during pregnancy. These children are directly connected with the future of the country. We must all make efforts to combat the crisis,”,
The challenges are plenty: one-third of India’s 1.25 billion people don’t get enough to eat; one-third of India eats only unhealthy food; one in three of our children below five is underweight; our future is stunted. To fight all these and more, the government has launched September as POSHAN Maah (month)—an integrated programme intended to boost the Narendra Modi government’s signature scheme, Poshan Abhiyaan.
