The Ministry of Women and Child Development has been recognized for its innovative approach to improving child nutrition with the National Award for e-Governance 2024 (Gold) for its Poshan Tracker initiative. This digital tool, a key component of Mission Poshan 2.0, is revolutionizing how India tracks and addresses child malnutrition.

The Poshan Tracker is making a difference through via various measures: :

• The Poshan Tracker utilizes Growth Measuring Devices (GMD) at Anganwadi Centers to collect accurate data on children's growth. This data is then entered into the system, allowing for real-time monitoring of each child's progress.

• Early identification: By comparing children's growth data with WHO standards, the Tracker identifies potential nutritional issues early on, enabling targeted interventions.

• The program empowers Anganwadi Workers to provide personalized support and nutritional counselling to children at risk.

• The Poshan Tracker is a testament to the power of technology in promoting child health and well-being. It has proven to be an invaluable tool in India's fight against malnutrition.
