PROJECT SUMMARY
About Plan India: Plan India, a member of Plan International Federation, is a nationally registered independent child development organization committed to creating a lasting impact in the lives of vulnerable and excluded children, their families and communities. For over 35 years, Plan India and its partners have improved the lives of millions of children by providing them access to protection, basic education, proper healthcare, a healthy environment, livelihood opportunities and participation in decisions which affect their lives. Plan India has a long term presence in ten states. During July 2015- June 2020, Plan India aims to reach two million children and youth through grassroots programmes and five million children and youth through evidence based advocacy initiatives.
Nutrition India Programme: India has the largest population of under-5 children in the world and contributes nearly 2million under-5 deaths, highest for any nation, globally. High prevalence of malnutrition contributes to over 50% of child deaths. Malnutrition is India's silent emergency and among India's greatest human development challenges, it affects cognitive development, growth, and reduces lifetime learning and earnings. Much of this undernourishment happens during pregnancy and in the first two years of a child's life and, without appropriate interventions, the damage to brain development and future economic productivity is largely irreversible.
Maharashtra one of the prominent commercial state of India has significantly shown improvement in overall Human Development Index (HDI), in terms of access to education, health, poverty eradication and other development issues. However, one of the biggest challenge that still remains is that of Malnutrition status in the tribal belt of the state. Considering the importance of first 1,000 days of life, Plan International-India Chapter along with its consortium partners and the donor, Reckitt Benckiser (RB), has launched the Nutrition India Programme. The programme aims to impact nutritional status of mothers and children in 1000 villages across two underprivileged districts i.e. Nandurbar and Amravati of Maharashtra.
