About Project

 

PCI India, as a technical partner to UPSRLM is supporting the Mission in improving the maternal and child nutrition through sustainable decentralized production and distribution of Take-Home Rations (THR) through Food Processing Enterprises led by women Self-Help Groups (SHGs).

The two largest govt. programs, ICDS and UPSRLM, have joined hands to address malnutrition through availability and accessibility of nutritional food supplements at household level through its last mile reach to the vulnerable households, and also economic empowerment of marginalized women by engaging them in income generation activities and contributing to the household income. UPSRLM has already promoted more than 4.8 lakh women’s SHGs covering more than 55 lakh households from marginalized communities. It is expected to reach directly to 1.2 crore rural households covering a total of 33% of the rural population of the state in next two years. The decentralized local production of THR through SHG led nutrition enterprises, will ensure stronger accountability, reduced leakage, generate local employment, and greater empowerment of women, as majority of the beneficiaries of THR are SHG households. The THR initiative supports the twin objectives of improving nutritional outcomes and promotion of large-scale women’s economic empowerment.
