Mysuru: The State Government’s ambitious ‘Mathru Poorna’ scheme, aimed at providing nutritious food to pregnant women and post-natal mothers will soon be implemented across the district.
Women and Child Welfare Department Deputy Director K. Radha, speaking to SOM, said that it was found that Rice, Wheat, Sugar and Jaggery being distributed to pregnant women and post-natal mothers, was shared among all family members of the beneficiary. As such, many pregnant women became deprived of nutritious food, resulting in the birth of abnormal children.
