Mizoram’s Anganwadi Model: A Success Story in Nutrition
A high-level delegation from Mizoram recently conducted a comprehensive inspection of Anganwadi centres in Pundrak and Nissing. The primary focus was on verifying the accuracy of nutrition data and assessing the overall effectiveness of the program.
The team engaged directly with women beneficiaries, discussing their experiences with ration distribution and the frequency of home visits. Initial reports suggest a high level of satisfaction and adherence to the program’s guidelines.
Furthermore, the inspection included a thorough assessment of the kitchen facilities, ration storage, and sanitation infrastructure. Toilets and nutrition gardens were found to be well-maintained. The delegation also participated in a tree planting initiative.
The successful inspection highlights Mizoram’s commitment to effective nutritional programs. This model offers valuable lessons for other states striving to improve the health and well-being of their most vulnerable populations, particularly women and children. The findings are expected to inform policy improvements across the nation.
