Mission Poshan 2.0 is anchored by which ministry?
- A.Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
- B.Ministry of Rural Development
- C.Ministry of Women and Child Development
- D.Ministry of Education
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Ministry of Women and Child Development. Mission Poshan 2.0 is the unified national nutrition mission of the country, brought together in the Union Budget of 2021-22 under that ministry, and it merges POSHAN Abhiyaan, Anganwadi Services or the Integrated Child Development Services, and the Scheme for Adolescent Girls into one framework. Option A is a natural guess because malnutrition is a public health problem, and the health ministry does run nutrition related health services, but the mission itself sits elsewhere. Option B is wrong because rural development handles livelihoods and rural infrastructure rather than this mission. Option D is wrong although the link between nutrition and early learning is stressed in this edition, since school education is not the anchor of Poshan 2.0. Also remember the starting point of the whole effort: POSHAN Abhiyaan was launched in March 2018 as a multi-ministerial convergence mission.
