The simple answer is: yes — any Anganwadi centre can set up a Poshan Vatika, a small nutrition garden of leafy greens, vegetables, and fruits, using its courtyard, rooftop, or community land. The harvest can feed directly into the centre’s supplementary nutrition programme, and success needs planning more than money: sunlight, water, and a committed … Read more
The simple answer is: Poshan Tracker Data Privacy rests on safeguards like encrypted storage, role-based access, and face-verification protection — but much still depends on how carefully each Anganwadi worker uses the app. No app can protect data a user photographs or forwards on WhatsApp. Poshan Tracker is the Government of India’s official nutrition-monitoring app, … Read more
