September is designated as Rashtriya Poshan Maah or Nutrition Month as part of the Government’s national flagship program, POSHAN Abhiyaan, also known as the National Nutrition Mission.
The program was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2018 with the objective of reducing under nutrition levels among children below six years of age, pregnant women and lactating mothers in the country.
This year, POSHAN Maah is being celebrated under the theme "Suposhit Bharat, Sakshar Bharat, Sashakt Bharat" (Well-Nourished, Well-Read, and Empowered India), focusing primarily on key stages of the human life cycle—pregnancy, infancy, childhood, and adolescence.
