Port Blair, 06 August 2024:
Under the Kuposhan Mukt Panchayat campaign, all Gram Panchayats have taken significant steps to combat malnutrition among children. As part of this initiative, nutrition kits were distributed to malnourished children, ensuring they receive the essential nutrients required for healthy growth and development.
In addition to the distribution of nutrition kits, a series of community-based events were organized to further support the campaign’s goals. Poshan Choupals were held, providing a platform for community members to discuss and learn about nutrition and health practices. These events facilitated open dialogue and knowledge sharing, empowering families with the information needed to improve their dietary habits and overall well-being.
House visits were also conducted, focusing on the homes of malnourished children. These visits aimed to establish behavioral change and communication, offering personalized guidance and support to families. Health workers and volunteers provided practical tips on meal planning, hygiene, and child care, ensuring that families have the tools and knowledge to sustain healthier lifestyles.
