Mandya Zilla Panchayat CEO K.R. Nandini emphasized regular thiamine (Vitamin B1) supplementation for mothers and infants to prevent deaths from deficiency. She highlighted the need for awareness campaigns on thiamine-rich foods and effective IEC activities for early identification and treatment. Nandini directed ASHA and anganwadi workers to identify malnourished children, screen those aged 0-6 for SAM/MAM, and refer SAM children to Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres. Regular monitoring, nutritious food, disease prevention, and immunisation are crucial for preventing malnutrition progression.
