Gandhi made the news recently by opposing her own ministry into wanting to convert these to factory made packets instead of sourcing local food items and ingredients. Citing food safety she has pushed for a powdered formula that can be mixed with regular meals.

New Delhi:
Over a 100 activists and groups have written to Union Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi opposing the move to turn take home rations to women and children below three into “energy-dense, factory made” nutrient packets. The letter from the Right to Food Campaign, dated April 17, comes a day before the newly launched Poshan Mission’s National Nutrition Council is set to meet for the first time, on April 18.

Anganwadi centres give children aged six months to three years and pregnant and lactating mothers rations consisting of wheat, soya, sugar, etc. This is mandated under the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) Supplementary Nutrition Programme, which also ensures children under three get hot, cooked meals in anganwadis.
