Speaking on the occasion, Child Development Project Officer, Poshan Hiranagar Priyalakshmi, said, âThe Beti Bachao Beti Padhao program is not just a campaign but a call to action for everyone to ensure the survival, protection, and education of the girl child. Events like these help spread awareness at the grassroots level, inspiring communities to embrace positive change.â She also underscored the synergy between Beti Bachao Beti Padhao and Poshan Abhiyaan, saying, âOur efforts under the Poshan Bhi, Padhai Bhi initiative focus on integrating child nutrition with early education, empowering Anganwadi workers and educators to ensure holistic development for children. By combining good nutrition with quality education, we are building a stronger foundation for the future, especially for young girls who hold the key to a progressive society.â
