Malnutrition needs immediate attention. While people in privileged societies have slowly started making better food choices, underprivileged individuals suffer from the unavailability of food and lack of access to nutritional knowledge. Your contribution can help dedicated non-profit organisations feed the hungry through their researched programmes. Read on to know more.

2. Intro
Children should receive optimal nutritional support from infancy through adolescence since it has a significant impact on
how well they develop, learn, and thrive.
While nutritional welfare programmes like the PM Poshan Abhiyaan (previously known as the Mid-Day Meal
Programme or MDM) have shown some promise, support can be given from generous donors.
How PM Poshan Abhiyaan helps children?
The PM Poshan Abhiyaan improves children's attendance as well as their propensity to stay after lunch; it has also been
successful in reducing classroom hunger. It has been crucial in increasing student enrolment and has undoubtedly
contributed to the eradication of hunger. This MDM programme also encourages children to get access to
uninterrupted education.
