the vision , key theme with us. Every
child deserves a healthy start, every mother deserves proper nourishment, and
every family deserves access to nutritious food. Yet, for millions in India,

the government launched Poshan Abhiyaan on March 8, 2018—a flagship program
aimed at improving nutritional outcomes for women and children through a
holistic approach. One of its key initiatives, Poshan Pakhwada, has emerged as
a powerful platform to raise awareness and promote community participation in
addressing malnutrition
