Nutrition indicators recorded in real-time are not in the public domain

The Ministry of Women and Child Development has spent over 1,000 crore on its Poshan or Nutrition Tracker, which records real-time data on malnourished and ‘severe acute malnourished’ children in each anganwadi. But four years since its launch, the Government is yet to make the data public.

The Government has spent 1,053 crore on the Poshan Tracker or Information Communication Technology-Real Time Monitoring as on March 31, 2021, the Ministry of Women and Child Development told the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education, Women, Children, Youth and Sports. The report was presented before Parliament on November 30. Of the total, 600 crore was spent on procurement of smartphones; followed by 203.96 crore on smartphone recharge and maintenance; 180.68 crore on incentives to anganwadi workers and helpers for using the technology; and 68 crore on training.

Yet, in response to a question on the number of malnourished children in the country from Samajwadi Party MP Rewati Raman Singh in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, the Minister for Women and Child Development Smriti Irani relied on data from the recently released National Family Health Survey-5, which shows improvement in stunting, wasting and under-weight children.
