During the event, key topics were addressed by speakers to inform and motivate participants. Nazia Hassan, GM DIC Anantnag and Dr. Shahida Shaban, a Supervisor, delivered insightful talks on women empowerment and Poshan Mah and its themes.
Participants included a large number of staff from the DPO, Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) Anantnag, supervisors, and selected Anganwadi workers (AWWs). The gathering underscored the grassroots-level commitment to the campaign, with Anganwadi workers, in particular, being recognized for their front-line role in reaching every household.
