India Intensifies Efforts to Combat Child Malnutrition Through Poshan Abhiyaan and PALNA Initiatives

India's Poshan Abhiyaan aims to combat child malnutrition through intensified efforts in maternal health, nutrition awareness, and child development. The program utilizes Anganwadi centers under the ICDS scheme for supplementary nutrition and health check-ups. However, challenges persist for working families in the informal sector, leaving some children without adequate care. The complementary PALNA initiative offers daycare with meals, education, and health screening to support these families and foster child development.
