Abstract

On March 8, 2018, the Honorable Prime Minister of India inaugurated the Poshan Abhiyaan in the Jhunjhunu region of Rajasthan. The primary objective of the Abhiyaan program is to strongly emphasize the nutritional status of teenage girls, pregnant women,
breastfeeding mothers, and young children aged 0 to 6. The program focuses on adolescent girls, pregnant women and lactating mothers. It uses technology, convergence, and community involvement with a targeted approach to reduce the prevalence of stunting, undernutrition, anaemia and low birth weight in children. In addition, the program's primary target population is pregnant women or nursing mothers. The review article emphasizes the purpose, targeted population, Poshan Abhiyaan 2023 activities, features, significance, concerns and other aspects of the Anganwadi Service Scheme under Poshan 2.0.
