Mukhyamantri Sampoorna Pushti Yojana: Maternal Nutrition gives pregnant women and lactating mothers extra, nutrient-dense food on top of what they already get under the Supplementary Nutrition Programme (SNP). The main aim is to improve maternal health, reduce low birth weight, and fight anaemia among mothers.
Along with the food, the scheme makes sure mothers get regular antenatal care (ANC) check-ups during Mamata Diwas, routine immunisation, and iron, calcium and deworming support.
