Short films about the “1000 Golden Days of a Child Campaign,” which emphasize the importance of access to adequate nutrition for women and children and the importance of nutrition for adolescent girls, were released by Minister for Social Welfare and Women’s Advancement Geetha Jeevan on Monday.

On the sidelines of a media workshop on malnutrition and anemia in children and women, she said the government is creating ICDS centers through the Integrated Child Development Services.

“The campaign focuses on the importance of women having access to proper nutrition during pregnancy, raising awareness of breastfeeding and how to provide nutritious foods for their growing children. Women can visit the centers closest to them and talk to staff about nutrition, what they can consume and what can be given to their children, ”she said.
