Dhar, Madhya Pradesh: Union Minister of State for Women and Child Development, Savitri Thakur, inaugurated the Rashtriya Poshan Maah 2024 in Dhar district on September 1, 2024. The nationwide initiative, aimed at combating malnutrition, will run throughout September.

Thakur encouraged citizens to actively participate in the month-long activities, urging communities to contribute to building a “healthy, prosperous, and powerful India” by addressing malnutrition at the grassroots level.
The launch event also saw the participation of the Women and Child Development Minister of Madhya Pradesh, who echoed the importance of community involvement in making Rashtriya Poshan Maah a success.
