Women Empowerment and Child Development Minister of Uttarakhand Rekha Arya
Mahalaxmi Kit was started in the state to help the pregnant women of Uttarakhand and to make the birth of a girl child positive. Its objective is similar to ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ Mahalaxmi Kit scheme, which is in the interest of women. This is what Uttarakhand’s Women Empowerment and Child Development Minister Rekha Arya has to say. He has made a big announcement that in the coming days, just as Mahalakshmi kit is given on the birth of a girl child, similarly Mahalakshmi kit will be given on the birth of a son also. This work will start soon in the state.
In fact, a program was organized under the Officers Club National Nutrition Month in Dehradun on Tuesday, in which Minister Arya participated, where he made this big announcement. Along with this, she also organized baby showers for pregnant women and distributed nutrition kits to malnourished women. Apart from this, he also distributed Chief Minister Mahalaxmi Kit. Women are getting a lot of support from this kit.
Minister Arya says that all kinds of activities including baby shower and food distribution are being done in the Anganwadi centers of Uttarakhand, so that every woman can get the benefit of the government scheme. Along with this, nutrition campaign will also be run by Anganwadi workers during National Nutrition Month.
‘Anganwadi sisters are creating awareness regarding malnutrition’
He says that the purpose of the nutrition campaign is to detect malnourished children. If someone is found malnourished, their parents will be made aware about giving proper diet. At present, Anganwadi sisters are going from village to village, door to door making people aware about malnutrition. At the same time, this nutrition month is going to continue till October 1. This year the theme of National Nutrition Month has been kept as Well-Nourished India, Literate India, Strong India.
