How well is “ Poshan Abhiyan “
scheme working ?
·
The proposed survey’s first report— covering a sample of
100,000 ‘anganwadis’—is expected to come in by March 2019.
·
There are nearly 1.4 m ‘anganwadis’ across the country and
all will be surveyed in a phased manner, the persons cited earlier said.
·
This includes checking on the efficacy of the ICDS-CAS
dashboard in 57 districts of seven states to monitor data and
services delivered by ‘anaganwadi’ centres in real time.
Currently, there are 9.5 million beneficiaries listed under 120,000 ‘anganwadis’ mapped by the dashboard which was developed in partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Bank.

·
To facilitate the functioning of this dashboard, over 200,000
smartphones have been procured by the states to aid ‘anganwadis’ in monitoring
nutrition levels in children.
·
These phones come uploaded with an application that
facilitates real-time data reporting from the grass-root level and is expected
to come in handy in drawing a nutrition profile of the country, the sources
said.
How did your suggestion describe this Mobile App ?
Here is my description of the working of BANMALI ( email dt 29 June 2016 ) :
·
Each NEUTRA-KID bar wrapper will have a bar-code ( till such
time inserting RFID sensors become a reality )
·
Bar code will carry all normal instructions + Delivery
Destination ( Post Office )
·
Each NEUTRA-KID bar will pass thru a Bar Code Reader on the
Assembly Line , before dispatch
·
Info collected thru this reader will get transmitted to the
Central Server of concerned Ministries
·
After taking his / her weight and entering in a online Database
, hosted on the Central Server of the concerned Ministries, each targeted child
will get registered at the nearest Post Office
·
Each registered child will be issued a blue tooth enabled Smart
phone, duly pre-installed with a Mobile App called " BANMALI " ( Banish Malnutrition in
India ) , in which Child's data / Aadhar No will be entered
·
Every day , the concerned child ( and parent ) will visit the post
office to collect the NEUTRA-KID bar
·
Before handing over bar, child will be weighed on a weighing
machine and the weight entered in BANMALI
·
The weight record graph will appear on the screen of the PC
located at the Post Office ( Blue Tooth )
·
This record will also get transmitted ( of course ,
automatically ) to the COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTRE where the concerned child is
" registered " ( this will be compulsory in order to be eligible for
this Scheme )
·
Every time , a child is taken for his/her monthly HEALTH CHECK
UP ( also compulsory in order to receive next month's NEUTRA-KID bars ) ,
concerned doctor will examine the child and enter his findings in BANMALI
·
Doctor will be required to enter medicines prescribed as also ,
increase / decrease in the QUOTA of NEUTRA- KID bars recommended for the next
month
·
All of these data will get relayed to the Central Servers of the
concerned Ministries
