Nutritious diet – an important step towards a healthy future!
Anganwadi centers provide nutritious food to pregnant mothers and young children to prevent malnutrition and improve their health. Under this scheme, pregnant and lactating mothers are provided with food rich in essential proteins, vitamins and nutrients, which ensures proper health care for them and their babies. Also, young children are provided with a balanced diet, which includes milk, fruits, pulses, dry fruits and green leafy vegetables. Mothers and parents are guided on proper diet through regular health check-ups and nutrition awareness programs. This initiative is bringing positive changes in the physical and mental development of children and is helping to prevent malnutrition.
Healthcare – Safe childhood through vaccination!
In Anganwadi centers, young children are vaccinated on time, which protects them from dangerous diseases. Vaccines against TB, tetanus, polio, measles, hepatitis and other infectious diseases are given, so that the health of children remains good and they are protected from serious diseases in the future. Also, necessary vaccination campaigns are carried out for pregnant and lactating mothers, which ensures the health of both the mother and the child. Under this campaign, the importance of vaccination is explained to the parents and they are made aware about vaccination from time to time. This initiative is effectively implemented with the help of Anganwadi centers, health workers and ASHA workers, which makes the health of children more capable and safe.
Regular monitoring of maternal and child health – nutritional status!
Regular records of the weight and nutritional status of mothers and children are kept in Anganwadi centres so that their health development can be monitored. Monthly weight checks, height measurements and nutritional status assessments are carried out to identify malnourished children and mothers and implement special nutrition plans for them. If any child is found to be underweight, he is given special food and his parents are given proper dietary guidance. Also, the weight of pregnant women is checked and their nutritional status is monitored so that there is no risk to their health and that of the baby. Through health check-ups and nutrition awareness programmes, mothers and parents are made aware of the importance of a balanced diet, which helps in improving the health of the entire family.

Also, information is given about the importance of breastfeeding and its appropriate duration for the nutrition of the newborn. Women are guided on appropriate and safe options regarding family planning, so that they can make healthy decisions and shape the future of their family in a healthy way. Due to this initiative, women are becoming more self-reliant and aware and their health is improving.
Nutrition Month – A step forward for a healthy lifestyle!
