SRINAGAR: The Poshan Tracker application is currently monitoring over 14 lakh Anganwadi Centres and nearly nine crore beneficiaries under the POSHAN Abhiyaan, marking a significant push towards strengthening nutrition governance across the country.
POSHAN Abhiyaan, India’s flagship National Nutrition Mission, focuses on improving nutritional outcomes through convergence, technology, and community mobilisation. Launched in 2021, the Poshan Tracker has emerged as the primary governance tool for monitoring infrastructure and service delivery in real time.
The application enables comprehensive data collection for Anganwadi Services, including the operational status of centres, daily attendance of children, and growth monitoring indicators. According to the Ministry of Women and Child Development, the system currently tracks key beneficiary groups such as pregnant women, lactating mothers, children up to six years of age, and adolescent girls.
Officials said the platform has strengthened oversight by allowing the Centre, States, and Union Territories to regularly review scheme implementation across multiple parameters, including the health and nutritional status of beneficiaries, ensuring more targeted and efficient interventions.
