Poshan Tracker Wins PM’s Award for Innovation, Marking a Milestone in Nutrition Service Delivery

In a proud and heartening moment for the Ministry of Women and Child Development, Secretary Shri Anil Malik was honored with the Prime Minister’s Award for Excellence in Public Administration under the Innovation category for the transformative Poshan Tracker app. The award, presented by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, recognizes a remarkable leap in the use of technology to improve the lives of millions of women and children across India.

The Poshan Tracker, a mobile-based application, has revolutionized the way nutrition and childcare services are delivered. Designed for use by Anganwadi workers, the app enables real-time data collection and monitoring, ensuring that essential services reach beneficiaries efficiently and transparently. This innovation has empowered frontline workers with tools that not only simplify their duties but also enhance accountability and responsiveness in the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme.

The recognition is a testament to the dedication and forward-thinking approach of the Ministry in addressing malnutrition and child welfare through digital innovation. By equipping grassroots workers with real-time tracking tools, the government has bridged crucial gaps in service delivery, making a tangible difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable sections of society.

This award reflects not only a technological achievement but also a deeply compassionate step towards building a healthier and more inclusive India. It is a moment of encouragement for all those working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that every child receives the care and nourishment they deserve.
