“Children’s nutrition is of topmost priority. While the focus on their nutrition is throughout the year, there is one month when the entire country places special emphasis on it. That’s why every year, from September 1st to September 30th, we observe ‘Poshan Maah’. To make people aware about nutrition, many methods are adopted like nutrition fairs, anaemia camps, home visits of newborn babies, seminars, and webinars. In many places, mother and child committee has also been established under Anganwadi. Last year, the nutrition campaign was also linked to the new education policy. Through this campaign ‘Poshan Bhi Padhai Bhi’, the focus is on the balanced development of children. You should also join the nutrition awareness campaign in your area,” PM Modi said.
