Chandigarh, 17th September 2018: The POSHAN Maah as started by the honorable
Prime Minister is being celebrated throughout the country from 1st to 30th

The theme of the POSHAN Maah for September 2018 is "Har
Ghar POSHAN Tyohaar”. The basic objective of this POSHAN Maah event is to

respectively and to intensify awareness generation on the importance of nutrition
for health.
POSHAN Abhiyaan is not a programme but a Jan Andolan, and
Bhagidaari. Under this Jan Andolan drive, the Department of Social welfare
Chandigarh Administration has organized many activities/awareness programmes at
grassroots level on POSHAN message i.e Drawing Competition, local leader
meetings, Hand Wash, hygiene, complimentary feeding and water sanitation etc at
Dhanass , Sector 41, Badheri, Burail, Raipur Khurad, Raipur Kalan, ,
Kishangarh, Daria, Vikasnagar, Palsora, etc.

food, clean water and healthy practices to each and every household.
