National Nutrition Month to be launched today at Varanasi
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS) In keeping with the observance of Rashtriya Poshan Maah (National Nutrition Month) every September, mobilising communities and reinforcing key nutrition, health and caregiving behaviours among pregnant women, lactating mothers, children, adolescents, and their families, the ninth edition this year will be launched on Wednesday at the Rudraksh International Cooperation and Convention Centre in Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi. Over successive Poshan Maah campaigns, awareness and positive behaviour change have been strengthened on maternal nutrition, infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, growth monitoring and hygiene, alongside broader efforts to improve nutrition outcomes across the country. Last year's event was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 17 from Dhar in Madhya Pradesh, along with the Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan (SNSPA). This year's campaign aims to recognise the importance of Anganwadi centres, the world's largest childcare network delivering essential care and support to children in even the most remote communities. The central theme this year is Hamari Anganwadi Hamari Jimmedari, calling upon every citizen to take shared ownership of such centres. It seeks to place these centres at the heart of community-led action for nutrition, care and early childhood development, while strengthening collective ownership and accountability for Poshan. The 2026 event is proposed to be anchored in five mutually reinforcing priorities. These include promotion of dietary diversity, with a focus on adequate protein intake, diverse food groups and local foods. It also ensures that beneficiaries get fresh, diverse, and nutritious hot cooked meals as central to improving the quality, utilisation, and effectiveness of Supplementary Nutrition Programme (SNP), while encouraging regular attendance at Anganwadi centres. Additionally, it is aimed at strengthening community ownership and accountability for Poshan through the newly constituted Anganwadi Management Committees and the display of SNP Menu Boards. The campaign also seeks promoting cognitive development and adequate nutrition as fundamental pillars of Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), highlighting the inseparable link between what a child eats and how a child learns. Rashtriya Poshan Maah 2026 will also commemorate 10 years of the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY), India's flagship maternity benefit programme. It will highlight PMMVY's contribution in supporting maternal nutrition, promoting health-seeking behaviours, and providing income support during pregnancy, while reinforcing the critical importance of maternal nutrition and care during the first 1,000 days of life for healthy growth, cognitive development, and lifelong well-being. Meanwhile, the Poshan Tracker, launched on March 1, 2021, serves as the primary governance tool for monitoring infrastructure and service delivery that has facilitated near real-time data collection for Anganwadi Services. At present, the system monitors a universe that consists of pregnant women, lactating mothers, children up to the age of six years, and adolescent girls. As of July 31 this year, India's nutrition infrastructure spans nearly 13.99 lakh Aanganwadi centres with a strength of 13.30 lakh workers, forming a vast grassroots network reaching around 8.94 crore beneficiaries. Children remain the primary focus, with those aged between six months and six years accounting for more than 7.2 crore of all beneficiaries, underscoring the emphasis on early childhood nutrition and development. Meanwhile, pregnant women and lactating mothers together number nearly 1.1 crore, reflecting sustained attention to maternal health during the critical first 1,000 days. Malnutrition remains one of India's most significant public health challenges, affecting the health, growth, learning and productivity of women and children across the life cycle. To mount a coordinated response, the Union government launched POSHAN Abhiyaan in March 2018 as a multi-ministerial convergence mission placing nutrition at the centre of the development agenda. In the Union Budget 202122, these interventions were integrated under Mission Poshan 2.0 India's unified National Nutrition Mission anchored by the Ministry of Women and Child Development. This consolidates three core schemes into one framework, Poshan Abhiyaan which includes technology-driven monitoring, Jan Andolan or mass mobilisation, and behavioural change. Also, Anganwadi services and Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) see to supplementary nutrition, hot cooked meals, and early childhood care. Additionally, scheme for adolescent girls provide nutritional support for out-of-school, and adolescent girls.

The President of India is pleased to appoint Shri Vinai Kumar Saxena, Lt. Governor of Ladakh to discharge the functions of the Lt. Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, in addition to his own duties, during the absence, on leave, of Shri Manoj Sinha, Lt. Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, a communique issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan said.

'One District, One Mafia' had become UP's identity before 2017, says CM Yogi
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 8 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said the situation in the state before 2017 was marked by poor law and order, widespread criminal activities, and the dominance of mafia elements, with 'One District, One Mafia' becoming its identity. Addressing the two-day 'UP Textile Conclave-2026', the Chief Minister welcomed entrepreneurs, investors, exporters, traditional weavers, handloom operators, industry representatives, and young people associated with the textile sector. First of all, I extend a heartfelt welcome and greetings to all the distinguished entrepreneurs, investors and exporters from the textile sector across the country, as well as traditional weavers, handloom operators, all the dignitaries and young friends who see their future in this sector, he said. Highlighting Uttar Pradesh's long-standing textile traditions, the Chief Minister said the state's textile heritage had historical links with India's cultural and economic development. He said that when gifts of clothing were presented by the King of Kashi at Yudhishthira's Rajasuya Yagya, ancient texts such as the Mahabharata made references to silk and pure cotton garments. Also referring to the period of Lord Ram's exile, he said religious scriptures mention Mata Janaki receiving divine garments at a sage's ashram. The textiles produced in India, particularly those made in Uttar Pradesh, were not only in demand in India but also in markets around the world, he said. If you look at Roman culture or Greek culture, there was a huge demand there as well for these textiles made in India and Uttar Pradesh. This means that the tradition of sending these products from here to other places existed even then, the Chief Minister said. He also highlighted several major textile and manufacturing centres across the state, including Varanasi's silk sarees, Bhadohi's carpets, Lucknow's chikankari, and Kanpur's textile, leather, and industrial manufacturing ecosystem. CM Adityanath also mentioned Agra's footwear and allied manufacturing sector, Sitapur's textile manufacturing capabilities, and Meerut's sports goods industry and the potential for technical textiles. These are not merely textile clusters of Uttar Pradesh. They represent different facets of Uttar Pradesh's textile heritage and industrial capabilities. These different facets visible across different regions draw our attention to the potential of the textile sector in Uttar Pradesh, he said. Recalling the situation in Uttar Pradesh before 2017, Adityanath claimed the state's law and order situation was in disarray and alleged that mafia groups had established parallel systems of governance in several districts. Friends, what the situation in Uttar Pradesh was like before 2017 is not hidden from anyone. Law and order in the state was in disarray, he said. In every district, a parallel government run by the mafia operated. In other words, 'One District, One Mafia' had become the identity of Uttar Pradesh. Across the state, the industries of murder, extortion, illegal occupation, goon tax, and kidnapping were flourishing. Professional mafias and goons operated their own system parallel to the government, he claimed. He further alleged that the prevailing environment had affected the safety of women, traders and potential investors. At that time, neither daughters were safe, nor traders were safe. Investors would come from outside with dreams of doing business and return with a slip of paper from the mafia demanding payment, Adityanath claimed. The Chief Minister also alleged that festivals and celebrations could not be conducted peacefully because of frequent disturbances and riots. No festival or celebration could be held peacefully. In other words, disturbances would begin before the festivities. Across the state, there would be a major riot every third day, with the entire state engulfed in the flames of riots. Major riots took place in Bareilly, Kosi Kalan in Mathura, Muzaffarnagar and Saharanpur on a large scale, he said. He said prolonged curfews and the closure of educational institutions and markets had a direct impact on economic activity. Curfews would remain in place for months. Schools and colleges would be closed. If there was a curfew, the markets would remain closed, and if the markets remained closed, business would inevitably come to a standstill. People could not even leave their homes. And when such a situation exists, the economy cannot move forward. A perception had taken hold, the Chief Minister said. He said Uttar Pradesh had also acquired a negative perception because of poor infrastructure and inadequate lighting in several areas. I always mention this point: before 2017, Uttar Pradesh had come to be perceived as a place where, once the roads became bad and darkness began as soon as evening arrived, you could assume that you had entered the borders of Uttar Pradesh. This was the situation in Uttar Pradesh before 2017, he said.

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.
