The Ministry of Women and Child Development is planning to collaborate with the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM), a trade association of Indian IT companies, for further improving its nutrition monitoring app.

 

The nutrition monitoring app has been developed under the Poshan Abhiyan that aims to fight malnourishment and stunting. The app is presently available for anganwadi centres in seven states.

 

Smartphones having Integrated Child Development Services-Common Application Software (ICDS-CAS) app has been distributed to about 1.2 lakh anganwadi centres and the ministry aims to increase its coverage to 14 lakh centres by the end of the year.

 

The ministry is seeking collaboration from several stakeholders to make the Poshan Abhiyan a mass movement.
