  • The CTCRI would launch the campaign in Odisha in the current fiscal.
  • By the end of 2024-25, planned to cover nine districts in that State.
  • The initiative was aimed at popularising biofortified tubers and value-added products made from them among the tribal communities for tackling malnutrition and ensuring a balanced diet.
  • A typical ‘rainbow diet’ is a meal plan comprising different-coloured fresh fruits and vegetables.
