In Haryana, POSHAN Abhiyaan has selected Two districts, Nuh and Panipat, for first phase because of the dire need. EMPOWER PEOPLE believe in mechanism and the community participation. As government is doing their part we as community organization have job to make it happen with citizens support. Like our module we are engaging religious leaders, teachers, parents, and students has been done to make POSHAN Abhiyaan a Jan Andolan at the grassroot. Today We launched a campaign “Healthy Mewat” in village Jataka of Nagina (NUH.) Community leaders joined the meeting cum half day training to understand the issue of nutrition.  People were shocked to learn that 70.1% of total women of reproductive age in Mewat are Anemic while 80.7% of total children under 5 year also suffer with Anemia. It was not beyond shock to learn that Mewat ranks 464 amongst 599 districts of India.
