The supplementary nutrition programme has achieved a major milestone with over 50 lakh eggs distributed to children and pregnant women across Meghalaya's Anganwadi Centres.
MECDM's supplementary nutrition programmer has achieved a landmark milestone of distributing over 50 lakh eggs to children aged 6 months to 6 years and pregnant and lactating women across all 11 districts of Meghalaya.
This initiative, supported by poultry clusters established under the mission, has significantly contributed to reducing malnutrition among young children in the state. The programme sources eggs from local Self-Help Groups, creating a sustainable supply chain that benefits both children's nutrition and women's livelihoods.
Early data shows improved growth outcomes among children receiving regular egg supplementation, with weight-for-age indicators showing positive trends in participating communities.
