Annpurna Devi to launch 'Rashtriya Poshan Maah 2026' from Varanasi on Sep 9
New Delhi, Sep 7 (IANS) Union Women and Child Development Minister Annpurna Devi will launch the month-long ninth Rashtriya Poshan Maah 2026 on September 9 in Varanasi with the aim of improving nutrition and health of women, children and adolescents, an official said on Monday. The launch event will be held at the Rudraksh International Cooperation and Convention Centre in Varanasi, where the Union Minister would be joined by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Minister of State for Women and Child Development Savitri Thakur and Ministers and officials from the state, an official statement said. Observed every September since its launch in 2018, Rashtriya Poshan Maah has grown into a Jan Andolan that mobilises communities to strengthen nutrition, health and caregiving behaviours among women, children and adolescents, the statement said. Guided by the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of a 'Suposhit Bharat' to lay the foundation of a Viksit Bharat by 2047, Rashtriya Poshan Maah 2026 will celebrate 10 years of Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY), the flagship maternity benefit programme that has supported maternal nutrition and health-seeking behaviour for a decade as a fifth theme. A 100 per cent saturation drive will enrol all eligible pregnant and lactating women, expedite Direct Benefit Transfers, and launch a PMMVY Toolkit for localisation by state and Union Territories (UTs), the statement said. The launch programme will open with a walkthrough of the Poshan Mela by the dignitaries and the lighting of the lamp. Beneficiary testimonial videos on hot cooked meals, take home ration, home visits and early childhood care and education will be screened, followed by a live interaction between the Union Minister and the anganwadi workers. Films marking 10 years of PMMVY and the Poshan Maah 2026 launch will set the stage for the dignitaries to formally launch the campaign. Rashtriya Poshan Maah 2026 will be observed across all states and UTs through community events at Anganwadi centres, schools, panchayats and households, reaffirming that a well-nourished child is the shared responsibility of every citizen and the surest foundation of a Viksit Bharat.

UP CM Yogi visits flood-affected Chitrakoot; distributes relief materials to 800 families
Chitrakoot (UP), Sep 6 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday visited Chitrakoot district and took stock of the situation in flood-affected areas and reviewed relief and rehabilitation measures undertaken by the administration. He ordered authorities to provide immediate relief materials, as well as a new residence, to those affected by the flood. Addressing the gathering, CM Yogi said: I have come today to assure all of you that in this hour of disaster, you are not alone. Whether it is an ordinary family, a trader, a math, a temple, or the ghats -- whatever loss anyone has suffered, the government will make arrangements to provide support and assist everyone. If a poor person's home is affected by floods or fire, if someone's home is affected, their entire house burns down, or gets washed away in the flood, if they are eligible under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, give them a home under that, or else under the Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana, immediately provide a new house and land lease document. The Chief Minister also accused the Samajwadi Party (SP) of aking away the money meant for flood-relief measures. Before 2017, whenever floods occurred, the then government would not even take notice. The Samajwadi Party government would allegedly misappropriate the relief funds, leaving the poor, vulnerable and deprived without adequate assistance. If someone raised a strong objection, they were reportedly given only dry bread, he claimed. Contrasting the situation under the current BJP-led state government, CM Yogi said: Now, the government has taken a firm stand on flood relief. When we came to power in 2017, I visited flood-affected areas to inspect the relief efforts and asked what assistance was being provided to affected families. I was told that dry bread was being distributed. I asked the administration if they could continue with dry bread. I ordered them to provide a flood kit with all the necessary materials to the flood victims. The Chief Minister distributed relief material among 800 families affected by the recent floods. He also provided land allocation certificates to families rendered homeless by the disaster, enabling them to secure land for residential use. In addition, eligible flood-affected families received financial assistance from the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) to help them recover from flood losses. On Saturday, CM Yogi visited Varanasi and inspected the flood-affected areas of the city. He also conducted an aerial survey of the impacted areas in the district.

PM Modi urges teachers to stay vigilant against student drug addiction, excessive screen time
New Delhi, Sep 5: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged teachers to stay vigilant against student drug addiction and help children tackle excessive screen time through sports, physical play, and creative activities. Interacting with the national award-winning teachers on Friday, the eve of Teachers' Day, Modi asked the teachers to preserve childhood and nurture children's natural curiosity. He said teachers should share creative approaches to make classroom learning more engaging. The prime minister emphasised that teachers need to look beyond the academic performance of children and be attentive to their behaviour and everyday lives. He said teachers have an increasingly important role to play in the lives of children now that there are fewer joint family set-ups. On drugs, Modi said that in some big cities and universities, it is difficult to identify if anyone gets affected by the problem, as no one knows who gives whom what. He said that in some big cities and universities, it is difficult to tell if anyone is being affected by the problem, as no one knows who gives whom what. In these circumstances, teachers should take the initiative for awareness and also observe minutely if any change (in behaviour) is witnessed in any child, he said. A video of the interaction at the prime minister's Lok Kalyan Marg residence was released on Saturday. The prime minister said the teachers should enter the lives of the students, going beyond books and syllabuses. You should not allow the childhood of a student to die. The biggest contribution can be given by the teachers by keeping childhood alive in students' lives, he said. Modi also talked about how teachers can keep the students away from long hours of screen time and encourage them towards outdoor sports activities. The prime minister said children have the same basic nature and curiosity, and if teachers nurture and channelise this curiosity, they can make a significant contribution to their development. He said screen time has become a major concern among students, as he urged the teachers to speak to parents about how much time their children spend on screens and whether they continue using mobile phones late at night. Screen time can be cut naturally by developing an interest in sports, physical games and creative activities, he said. Referring to the National Education Policy, Modi stressed the importance of taking children outside the classroom and connecting them with real-world skills and forms of work. The prime minister praised a teacher who spoke about making women in her vicinity aware of breast cancer, and said a breast cancer awareness campaign was launched by him in Varanasi, his Lok Sabha constituency. I am happy to share with you that more and more women are coming forward for screening (for breast cancer), even setting a Guinness World Record for it, he said. This year, 82 teachers and educators have been selected for the National Teachers Awards from three departments. These include 48 teachers from the Department of School Education and Literacy, 21 teachers/faculty members from higher educational institutions and polytechnics, and 13 skill trainers from the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.
