Port Blair, Sept. 6: Poshan Abhiyaan launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister of India in the year 2018 aims to achieve improvement in the status of nutrition of both children and women. Involvement of people in bringing behavioural change and inculcating a balanced diet habit through Jan Andolan and Community Mobilization are the two most important pillars to achieve this goal. Poshan Maah aspires to reduce stunting, under-nutrition, low-birth weight, and anemia. Every year, the month of September is celebrated as POSHAN Maah across the Island. The theme for current year celebration of Rashtriya Poshan Maah is to activate Poshan Panchayat- making the Sarpanch and the Gram Panchayat at the village level as the fulcrum of activities, thus converting ‘Jan Andolan’ into ‘Jan Bhaigidari’.
