All children should start life on the right foot. A mother has the right to proper nutrition. All families should have access to wholesome, nutritious food. However, India is a silent but persistent crisis of malnutrition that continues to affect individuals as well as the country’s future. In sync with the need for transformative action, the Government of India launched Poshan Abhiyan, a flagship programme for ameliorating nutritional outcomes of women, children and communities through a comprehensive, multi-sectoral approach on March 8, 2018.
This mission has one of the key initiatives — Poshan Pakhwada, a platform that is powerful to spread nutrition awareness and boost community participation. It is celebrated annually as a way more than just a program; it is a call to action on critical health and nutrition issues.
Poshan Pakhwada will be observed from the 8th to the 23rd of April 2025 in the seventh edition. Key themes around this year’s campaign are maternal and child nutrition, digital outreach to beneficiaries, and childhood obesity. Its aim is to campaign with an outcome-based approach that will promote overall nutritional well being especially for women and children.
Different community-based activities will be organized by all government ministries and departments, in coordination with the Anganwadi centres in the country to make collide participation on the basis of awareness.
Instead they endorse and promote the consumption of balanced meals and that individuals should participate in prenatal care and regular health checkups. To achieve this, citizens are also encouraged to pledge their commitment to a brighter future, that is eating healthily, staying active in the body and spreading awareness. Steps such as drinking 8 glasses of water daily make for a simple one, and just registering on the Poshan Tracker App is all that it takes to build a healthier India.
The Poshan Pakhwada 2025 is another strong stride towards a nourished and dynamic nation.
