Restart hot cooked meals at anganwadis: Right to Food Campaign (The Hindu) 

August 07, 2020


The Hindu published an article on children and nutrition. The government must resume provision of hot-cooked meals and ensure implementation of Anganwadi services such as growth monitoring and community management of acutely malnourished children. According to the POSHAN COVID-19 Monitoring report for India compiled in June 2020, 10 of the 14 most populous States did not conduct community management of acutely malnourished children and eight States were unable to measure growth parameters of children under six years. The report was compiled by IFPRI and several other international development agencies.
