Increase numbers of beneficiaries under anti-malnutrition drive: CS

Published on: 

Under Mukhyamantri Suposhan Abhiyan, women and children are being provided freshly-cooked nutritious food. As per the vision of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, Chief Secretary RP Mandal has given instructions to all the district collectors to benefit maximum number of people under this campaign. He has asked the district collectors to make their special contribution to ensure success of this mega-campaign to eradicate malnutrition and anemia in children and women.

Chief Secretary stated in the letter that under Mukhyamantri Suposhan Abhiyan, maximum number of beneficiaries should be provided hot-cooked nutritious food for eradication of malnutrition and anemia. He said that during state-level review, it was found that number of beneficiaries receiving the hot-cooked food is less than expected. Freshly-cooked nutritious food is one of the most effective measures for eradication of malnutrition and anemia.

This is the reason why district collectors have been directed to ensure that maximum number of eligible beneficiaries should be provided freshly-cooked nutritious food under the campaign, and action taken in compliance to these instructions should be reported within a week.

Chief Secretary said that strict action will be taken if any case of negligence or    irresponsibility is found in implementation of this     campaign.
