Highlighting the status of women health in the district and lauding the contribution of the Anganwadi workers in uplifting the health quotient in rural areas, she said that “the quantum of malnourished women and children are from the rural areas and therefore it becomes a prerogative to concentrate awareness activities in the grassroot levels."
“ But certain reforms like recruiting educated women as Anganwadi workers, since they will be in a better position to read and understand nutritional topics and guidelines, have to be politically supported and implemented by all concern,” she added.
Maya Murtem, CDPO,Doimukh division briefed about the activities carried out during the 5th Rashtriya Poshan Maah.
Also stating the importance of the fair, she said that “the mela provides a platform for all the womenfolk to interact and share their knowledge about organic products and local culinary practices.” DIPRO.
