For India, undernutrition has been a persistent challenge. To tackle it, the Government of India has made several policy and programmatic efforts, including the launch of the Poshan Abhiyaan, the flagship programme under the Ministry of Women and Child Development (WCD). The overarching goal of all these efforts is to improve the nutritional outcome for children, adolescents, lactating mothers and pregnant women by focusing on capacity building, improvement of service delivery, community mobilisation and participation, use of technology and interministerial and interdepartmental convergent planning and review of progress.
