successfully organized a webinar on 10th September 2024 for the
entire state of Chhattisgarh. The webinar was sponsored by Department of Women
and Child Development, Chhattisgarh. Technical support and presentations
regarding various Poshan Maah activities were provided by SCOE4N and UNICEF.
UNICEF facilitated the online platform for the live broadcast of the webinar,
which enabled outreach to beneficiaries throughout Chhattisgarh. The event
garnered a total of 66,000 views across the state, establishing it as one of
the most widely accessed programs associated with Poshan Maah activities. The
webinar was hosted at an Anganwadi located in the village of Pirda, within the Dharsiva Block of Raipur District. The
primary aim of the event was to provide training to 51,284 Anganwadi workers
regarding Poshan Maah and its
associated activities. This also included assessment of malnourishment status among children by measuring height and
weight. During the drive, volunteers (SCOE4N, UNICEF & CHIIPS) assisted
Anganwadi workers in measuring height and weight of children in the age group
of 0-6 years using instruments including infant meter, weighing scale and
stadiometer. Interactions with the parents were madeto generate awareness regarding the importance of nutrition and balanced diet
among children.
