Malnutrition is a multi-faceted phenomenon requiring concerted efforts from different stakeholders. In India there are several government programmes across life cycle to improve peoples’ health and nutrition. These include direct feeding programmes, health interventions, provision of safe drinking water supply, sanitation, agricultural interventions, and livelihood enhancement programmes. While all these have helped in improving health and nutritional outcomes, progress has been slow. Of even more concern is that some states are lagging more than others. In 2018 the Government of India launched the aspirational districts programme, to propel the 112 least developed districts towards prosperity and good health. The Poshan Abhiyaan or the Prime Minister’s overarching scheme for reducing malnutrition among young children, also launched in 2018, is an important milestone in India’s journey towards eliminating malnutrition. Poshan Abhiyan aims to improve the nutritional status of pregnant women, lactating mothers, adolescent girls, and children between 0-6 years in a time bound manner by reducing stunting and wasting in children (0-6 years) as well as reduction in anaemia in women, children, and adolescent girls. This program drives its mission for nutrition security through a three-pronged strategy: harnessing innovative technology, fostering convergence among government departments, and mobilizing communities through the Jan Andolan public movement for social and behavioural change. Recognizing well the importance of convergence between various government departments to tackle the problem of malnutrition holistically, Poshan Abhiyan provides a platform for convergence to realize the goal of ‘Suposhit Bharat.’ It lists out high impact interventions of 18 ministries/departments especially during the first 1000 days of life since conception Every department formulates a strategic plan for nutrition and aligns it with its current initiatives. The M. S. Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF) with support from the Ministry of Women and Child Development undertook a study to assess the impact of Poshan Abhiyaan in reducing child undernutrition in select aspirational districts between November 2024 to June 2025. As part of this exercise MSSRF held a series of online and offline consultations with various government departments to understand their role and contributions in addressing malnutrition. Online consultations were held in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Rajasthan while offline consultations were held in Assam and Chhattisgarh. The current proceedings highlight the initiatives undertaken by government departments in Assam to address malnutrition. The challenges in implementation as well as the recommendations suggested by the participants during the floor discussion have also been documented.
