Poshan Abhiyaan, also known as the National Nutrition Mission, focuses on improving nutritional outcomes for children, pregnant women, and lactating mothers. Launched in 2018, it aims to reduce stunting, anemia, and low birth weight. Using technology and real-time monitoring, the initiative strengthens the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) framework. It emphasizes behavioral change through community-based events and inter-sectoral convergence. This mission plays a vital role in ensuring a healthier and more productive future for India’s next generation.
