At the centre level, public nutrition plays a critical role in shaping the overall health outcomes of the population by designing and implementing national-level policies, programs, and interventions. The central government, through various ministries and departments, primarily the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of Women and Child Development, Ministry of Agriculture, and Ministry of Education, plays a pivotal role in nutrition planning, resource allocation, inter-sectoral coordination, and setting national standards. The responsibilities at this level are multifaceted, ranging from policy formulation to monitoring and evaluation. One of the key aspects of public nutrition at the centre level is policy formulation. The central government is responsible for drafting national nutrition policies that outline strategic goals, guidelines, and action plans. The National Nutrition Policy (1993), followed by the National Nutrition Strategy by NITI Aayog and the POSHAN Abhiyaan (launched in 2018), are significant efforts aimed at combating malnutrition in a comprehensive and coordinated manner. These policy frameworks address the immediate, underlying, and basic causes of malnutrition by focusing on both direct (nutrition-specific) and indirect (nutrition-sensitive) interventions. POSHAN Abhiyaan (Prime Minister’s Overarching Scheme for Holistic Nutrition) is a flagship program of the Government of India aimed at improving nutritional outcomes for children, pregnant women, and lactating mothers. It brings together various ministries to work towards a common goal and uses technology for real-time monitoring.
