Mission Poshan 2.0, launched to improve maternal and child nutrition in India, has achieved significant coverage. By July 2025, 72.22 lakh pregnant women had been registered as beneficiaries through the Poshan Tracker system. This initiative works alongside the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY), which focuses on providing financial assistance to mothers. Mission Poshan 2.0 integrates Anganwadi services, nutritional supplementation, and health monitoring, targeting not just pregnant women but also lactating mothers, children, and adolescent girls. The use of technology, such as the Poshan Tracker and Facial Recognition System, ensures transparency and efficient delivery of services to registered beneficiaries.
