The month of September has been declared as the “Rashtriya Poshan Maah” / National Nutrition Month by the Government of India. In order to bring nutrition to the centre-stage of the National Development Agenda, Government of India launched POSHAN Abhiyaan i.e. PM's Overarching Scheme for Holistic Nourishment in March, 2018, anchored by the Ministry of Women and Child Development. It is a multi-ministerial convergence mission with a vision to address malnutrition in a targeted approach by 2022. It aspires to reduce stunting, under¬ nutrition, low birth weight and anemia. For this year, Govt. of India have issued guidelines for celebrating the POSHAN MAAH-2020 from 1st September, 2020 onwards with all the precautionary guidelines in view of current COVID-19 situation.
