This three year program seeks to link and foster synergy between the existing schemes (across different ministries)
Objective and benefits of National Nutrition Mission
Though India has several welfare schemes for new/expecting mothers and young children, our goal of providing nutritious food is still far away. All of these schemes are disconnected, and thus people do not have access to all welfare scheme. National Nutrition Mission (NNM) will strive to create synergy among all the ongoing schemes for women and children, and thus aspire to create a positive synergy benefiting all.
Target:
Reducing
- Under-nutrition by 2% per Annum
- Anemia by 3% per Annum
- Low birth weight by 2% per annum
- Stunting by 2% per Annum
- Although the target to reduce Stunting is atleast 2% p.a., Mission would strive to achieve reduction in Stunting from 38.4% (NFHS-4) to 25% by 2022
