Poster Making and Slogan Writing Competition

Poshan Abhiyaan a flag-ship programme, launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister on
8th March, 2018, focuses on improving the nutritional status of adolescent girls,
pregnant women, lactating mothers and children from 0-6 years of age. The
programme, through use of technology, convergence and community involvement
strives to reduce the level of stunning, under-nutrition, anemia and low birth weight
in children, as also focus on adolescent girls, pregnant women and lactating mothers,
thus holistically addressing malnutrition. In order to strengthen the efforts made by
the Government to address malnutrition and for involving masses, Poshan Maah (1st
to 30th September) and Pakhwada (21st March to 4th April) are celebrated every year
by the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD).

To celebrate Poshan Maah, theme based activities are conducted across the country
throughout the month of September. For this year’s Poshan Maah the following key
themes relevant to nutrition have been announced by the Ministry of Women &
Child Development:
