KEY POINTS
· The government has prioritised addressing malnutrition through the Prime Minister’s Overarching Scheme for Holistic Nourishment (POSHAN) Abhiyaan and with updated POSHAN 2.0 guidelines.
· The introduction of community-based programmes for severe acute malnutrition, Jan Andolans, and community-based events, has led to the implementation of a holistic approach to addressing malnutrition.
· Poshan Abhiyaan also emphasised the importance of a data-driven approach to plan and manage delivery of nutrition services through anganwadi workers (AWWs).
· It is this need to monitor and improve interventions to address malnutrition that led to the development and deployment of the “Poshan Tracker” by the Ministry of Women and Child Development.
· It aims to provide a holistic view of distribution and access of nutrition services by anganwadi centres and AWWs to eligible groups.
· Its centralised data architecture enables interfaces with digital technology systems of other ministries, to help ensure that households which fall in the critical 1,000-day period receive benefits.
· Improving nutrition calls for a systems approach, cutting across health, food and care systems with data-backed digital tools providing an enabling backbone to scale evidence-based interventions.
· Recognising this, the government, working closely with development partners and community groups, in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha and other states, has supported setting up “Poshan Vatikas” or nutrition gardens.
