Supplementary Nutrition Reach
Map itShare of Anganwadi beneficiaries who got supplementary nutrition in the month — take-home ration on at least 21 days, or a hot cooked meal on at least 15 days. Beneficiaries: pregnant women, lactating mothers and children 6 months – 6 years. Monthly mean, December 2023 – November 2024, from the Poshan Tracker.
Caveat: Counts take-home ration and hot cooked meals together, so states compare fairly whichever they use. Recorded by Anganwadi workers in the Poshan Tracker app, not a survey. Monthly average, December 2023 – November 2024; later months use changed definitions. New districts show their parent's value.
