Themes of Poshan Pakhwada 2025

Pay attention to 1000 days of life
When a woman becomes pregnant, the first 1000 days until her child turns two – it is very important for the health of the child. During this time, a child’s body and brain grow very quickly. Good nutrition in these days creates a strong basis for the child’s future learning, immunity and health.
