Objectives Of Poshan Pakhwada
Key objectives include establishing nutrition-related behavioral change at the individual and community levels through Jan Bhagidari (public engagement).
The Pakhwada's goal is to enhance nutrition awareness and encourage healthy eating habits through "Jan Andolan and Jan Bhagidari" (public movement and participation).
PM Narendra Modi's Poshan Abhiyaan, started in 2018, has played an important role in guaranteeing public participation and bringing the nutrition debate to the forefront.
