Mima Gram Panchayat of Kohima district has been conferred with Suposhit Gram Panchayat Abhiyaan award on June 26 in Kohima.
The award was handed over by Wangpang Konyak, MLA and Advisor, Department of Social Welfare, Nagaland, during the observance of International Day against Drug Dbuse & Illicit Trafficking at Capital Convention Centre, Kohima. The award carried an incentive grant of Rs 1 lakh.
Olemjungla Aier, Additional Secretary, Department of Social Welfare, Nagaland said that the Suposhit Gram Panchayat Abhiyaan by the Government of India is aimed at improving the nutritional outcomes and well-being of targeted population across the country.
This initiative focuses on improving nutrition by strengthening implementation of nutrition related services, in convergence with multiple stakeholders at the local level, and ensuring active community participation.
The significance of the Suposhit Gram Panchayat Abhiyaan extends far beyond the mere recognition of achievements. It serves as a powerful catalyst for change, inspiring communities to embrace sustainable practices and innovative approaches in their fight against malnutrition through positive competition, she said.
Aier said that the objective of this initiative is to incentivize Anganwadis in Gram Panchayats to achieve a benchmark level of infrastructure, service delivery status and nutritional outcomes of beneficiaries.
It aims to mobilize and motivate Gram Panchayats and Anganwadi functionaries to take proactive measures towards eradicating malnutrition in the catchment area.
