The scheme has an earmarked three-year budget of Rs 9,046.17 crore from 2017-18, when it was launched

Less than half the funds set aside for the POSHAN Abhiyaan have been utilised by India’s states, according to the fourth progress report released by the NITI Aayog September 1, 2022.

States and Union territories (UTs) with poor distribution of mobile phones and growth monitoring devices emerged as those with low fund utilisation. More than half the funds (60 per cent) remained unutilised until March 31, 2020, the report noted. The scheme has an earmarked three-year budget of Rs 9,046.17 crore from 2017-18.

The Union government’s flagship scheme was launched in 2018 and aimed to improve the nutritional status of children, pregnant women, lactating mothers and adolescents.

Only three states had used more than 50 per cent of their POSHAN Abhiyaan funds between 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. This improved marginally to 12 between 2017-2019 and FY 2019-2020.
