Ensuring nutrition at the district level requires a ‘Multisectoral Approach’


Food is a fundamental human right, and proper nutrition is equally essential. Nutrition is crucial for education and health. However, nutrition remains a neglected issue in many areas. A lack of understanding about nutrition is prevalent among people, and addressing this issue requires the collective efforts of both government and non-government organizations.

Awareness about nutrition must be raised at the grassroots level in every district of the country. To achieve this, it is necessary to disseminate knowledge about nutrition and ensure multisectoral nutrition services. Special focus must be placed on women's nutrition, as they are central to nutrition. Ensuring proper nutrition for women will lead to the growth of a healthy future generation. Furthermore, social awareness at the grassroots level is equally important for achieving nutritional goals.
