Chhattisgarh Food and Civil Supplies Minister Amarjeet Bhagat on Thursday virtually inaugurated an ‘Additional Diet’ programme under the community-based nutritional management programme from Mohla in Rajnandgaon district.
September is observed as Nutritional Month across the country. The Chhattisgarh government has declared a fight against malnutrition and anemia and launched it as a public movement under the Mukhya Mantri Suposhan Abhiyan.
A public awareness campaign for nutritional diet is being launched across the state and Poshan Raths are traversing cities and towns as well as the interiors in Bastar region.
Under the drive, malnutrition affected children and women are identified and kits containing medicines and nutritional food are distributed to them.
Anganwadi workers, Mitanins and voluntary organizations are playing a key role to make people aware about nutritional diet.
