Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu has launched the "Bharatiya Poshan Anthem" which aims at taking the message of “Making India Malnutrition-free by 2022” to all corners of the country.
The anthem was conceptualised by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, penned by lyricist Prasoon Joshi and sung by Shankar Mahadevan.
'Poshan Abhiyan or National Nutrition Mission' was launched in 2018.
According to the Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey 2016-18, 34.7 per cent of Indian children aged less than five are stunted.
