Campaign to reduce malnutrition in
Madhya Pradesh kids
May 08, 2008, Bhopal: A campaign aimed at reducing malnutrition among
children would be conducted across Madhya Pradesh from May 15, an
official said.
Chief Secretary Rakesh Sahni asked the district collectors to set
their targets for reducing malnutrition during this phase, chalk out a
detailed action plan and implement it effectively, Woman and Child
Development Commissioner Kalpana Shrivastava told IANS.
She said an action plan would be chalked out with the help of health
department officials and representatives of Unicef for better
implementation of the campaign, Bal Sanjivani Abhiyan, at the district
level.
Prior to implementation of the campaign, a core group headed by the
collector would be constituted to chalk out strategy for the 12th
phase of the campaign.
The children up to five years of age would be weighed for identifying
their level of malnutrition. Children from nine months to five years
of age would be administered vitamin-A and de-worming tablets on
expert's advice.
Under the campaign, health check-up camps would be held after weighing
the children. Counselling camps would be organised. (IANS)
