PM to Launch ‘Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan’ and Inaugurate the Eighth ‘Poshan Maah’

New Delhi, September 2025:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to launch the ‘Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan’, a new initiative aimed at improving women’s health and nutrition, while also inaugurating the eighth edition of ‘Poshan Maah’ under the government’s flagship POSHAN Abhiyaan.

 Focus on Women’s Health and Family Well-being

The ‘Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan’ (Healthy Women, Empowered Families Campaign) seeks to create awareness about maternal health, nutrition, and preventive care for women. The initiative highlights the belief that a healthy woman is the foundation of a strong and prosperous family.

 Poshan Maah 2025

Launched in 2018, Poshan Maah is observed every September to promote nutrition and healthy living. This year marks the eighth edition, with special campaigns on:

Child and maternal nutrition

Awareness drives on anemia prevention

Promotion of traditional and regional superfoods

 Government’s Nutrition Goals

The combined launch of both initiatives underscores the government’s vision of a malnutrition-free India. By integrating women’s health with nutrition awareness, the campaign aims to reduce stunting, anemia, and malnutrition among children and women.
