Haryana's Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi announced a comprehensive nutrition mission for the fiscal year 2026-27, which aims to provide daily nutritional support to 9.46 lakh (946,000) children and 2.56 lakh (256,000) pregnant and lactating women. This initiative is part of the state's efforts under the POSHAN Abhiyaan, which seeks to eliminate severe malnutrition. The program will be bolstered by the Mukhyamantri Dudh Uphaar Yojana, which has a budget of ₹170 crore (approximately $20.4 million USD). Rastogi emphasized the importance of interdepartmental convergence, data-driven monitoring, and last-mile delivery to enhance maternal and child health. The roadmap sets ambitious targets, including increasing growth monitoring coverage to 99% and reducing severe malnutrition to negligible levels. Key focus areas will include promoting exclusive breastfeeding, improving complementary feeding practices, and targeted management of acute malnutrition. Additionally, the state will intensify iron and folic acid supplementation to combat anaemia among vulnerable groups, and collaborate with the AYUSH department to develop Poshan Vatikas for medicinal plant cultivation and organize monthly Yoga Days at Anganwadi Centres.
