Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced the comprehensive Poshan Abhiyaan 2026, a major initiative designed to eliminate malnutrition across India. This flagship scheme by the central government, also known as the PM Modi Poshan Abhiyaan 2026, is being implemented nationwide across all states, districts, and urban areas. Citizens can view the complete schedule of themes and activities by visiting the official portal at poshanabhiyaan.gov.in. The campaign, themed "Sahi Poshan Desh Roshan," focuses on ensuring essential nutritional support for infants, expectant mothers, and nursing women.
The Poshan Maah initiative is dedicated to identifying children with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and providing them with specialized care and nutrition. As India’s primary nutrition program, it aims to enhance health outcomes for children, teenagers, and mothers through a convergence of technology and targeted interventions. The central government is actively encouraging public participation to transform this mission into a nationwide movement, or "Jan Andolan."
Officially launched on March 8, 2018, the POSHAN Abhiyaan started with an initial three-year budget of Rs 9,046 crore to assist over 10 crore beneficiaries. The program has subsequently been extended through March 31, 2023.
