Department of Women and Child Development
JSW Foundation, the social development division of the Jindal Steel Works Group, recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the department of women and child development (WCD) under the government of Maharashtra (GoM) to improve the status of nutrition among mothers (both pregnant and lactating) and children in Thane district.
A six-year phase-wise scaling up strategy is has been planned where two talukas of Thane district will be taken in the first year, six in the second year and the remaining in third year.
In the subsequent years, the focus will remain on establishing and sustaining the project in all the talukas of Thane district. Periodic joint reviews will continue to strengthen the execution of the project.
According to government officials, the key goal of this project is to track every mother (both pregnant and lactating) and child below the age of six years. This will ensure both the availability and accessibility of the essential services to them such as immunization, supplementary nutrition, other basic health services and key messages on healthy practices at the community level.
This aims at facilitating the reduction in the cases of low birth weight (LBW) babies which contribute significantly to the cases of severe and moderate malnutrition.
Sangita Jindal, chairperson, JSW Foundation, and Ujjwal Uke, IAS, principal secretary, WCD, GoM, have signed the MoU document in the presence of Varsha Gaikwad, honourable minister, WCD, GoM here in Mumbai.
