Poshan Abhiyaan, also known as the National Nutrition Mission (NNM), was launched in 2018 (although the programme was being implemented in 2017) by the Government of India with the aim of tackling the malnutrition problem prevalent in India. The chief objective of the mission is to reduce the level of under-nutrition and also enhance the nutritional status of children in the country. The mission is a multi-ministerial initiative and aims at removing malnutrition from the country by 2022. Poshan Abhiyaan is India’s flagship scheme to improve the nutritional outcomes of adolescents, children, pregnant women and lactating mothers. The implementing agency is the Ministry of Women and Child Development, GOI. The NITI Aayog also plays a pivotal role in the mission. The National Council on India’s Nutritional Challenges, which has been set up under the Poshan Abhiyaan, has the Vice Chairperson of NITI Aayog as its Chairperson. The council is also called the National Council on Nutrition or NCN. The NCN offers policy directions to address nutritional challenges and review programmes for the same. It is a national-level coordination and convergence body on nutrition.
