In addition, States/UTs are also paying additional monetary incentives/honorarium to these functionaries from their own resources which vary from State  to  State.

Further, greater emphasis is being given on the use of millets for preparation of Hot Cooked Meal and Take Home Rations (THR- not raw ration) at Anganwadi centres for beneficiaries including children to tackle anaemia and other micro-nutrient deficiencies in women and children. Further, under Mission Poshan 2.0, only fortified rice is being allocated  to  all  the  States/UTs.  In  addition,  States/UTs  are  supplementing  the Supplementary Nutrition as per local food habits. States/UTs have been advised to promote use of AYUSH systems for prevention of malnutrition and related diseases. A programme to support development of Poshan Vatikas at Anganwadi Centres to meet dietary diversity gap leveraging traditional knowledge in nutritional practices has also been taken up.

A State-wise statement indicating the quantity of food grains allocated under WBNP and SAG during the current financial year is enclosed at Annexure IV.  Further, this Ministry has issued Streamlining Guidelines dated 13.01.2021 on Quality Assurance, Roles and Responsibilities of Duty Holders, Procedure for procurement, integrating AYUSH concepts and Data Management and Monitoring through 'Poshan Tracker' for transparency, efficiency and accountability in delivery of Supplementary Nutrition.
