Objective

The objective of the "Kuposhan Mukt Bharat" is to ensure community mobilization and bolster people’s participation for addressing malnutrition amongst young children, and women and to ensure health and nutrition for everyone and promoting healthcare including preventive healthcare and sanitation in direction of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)-2 for improvement of nutrition in children to reduce rate of malnutrition in the proposed society. UN - Sustainable Development Goal 2 espouses to create a world free of hunger by 2030. In 2020, between 720 million and 811 million persons worldwide were suffering from hunger, roughly 161 million more than in 2019. Also in 2020, a staggering 2.4 billion people, or above 30 per cent of the world’s population, were moderately or severely food- insecure, lacking regular access to adequate food. The figure increased by nearly 320 million people in just one year. Globally, 149.2 million children under 5 years of age, or 22.0 per cent, were suffering from stunting (low height for their age) in 2020, a decrease from 24.4 per cent in 2015. The programme intends to achieve the objective as mentioned above by United Nations and the vision of our Hon'ble prime Minister to make India as "Kuposhan Mukt Bharat”.
