Poshan Tracker APP: The Poshan Tracker application is monitoring more than 14 lakh Anganwadi Centres and nearly nine crore beneficiaries under the POSHAN Abhiyaan, India’s flagship national nutrition mission.
Launched in 2021, the application serves as a key governance tool for tracking Anganwadi infrastructure and service delivery. It enables real-time collection of information related to various Anganwadi services and helps authorities monitor nutrition-related outcomes.
According to the Ministry of Women and Child Development, the system currently covers pregnant women, lactating mothers, children up to six years of age and adolescent girls.
Poshan Tracker Strengthens Anganwadi Monitoring
The Poshan Tracker has enabled real-time data collection from Anganwadi Centres. The information includes the opening of centres, daily attendance of children and monitoring of their growth.
This digital system gives the Ministry and state and Union Territory governments access to information that can be used to review the implementation of Anganwadi Services.
The data also helps authorities assess the health and nutrition status of children and monitor the delivery of services under the nutrition programme.
How Poshan Tracker Supports Nutrition Services
The application brings several aspects of Anganwadi service delivery into a digital monitoring system. This allows authorities to track beneficiaries and review implementation across different parameters.
The beneficiaries being monitored include:
- Pregnant women
- Lactating mothers
- Children up to six years
- Adolescent girls
The system’s coverage of nearly nine crore beneficiaries provides government authorities with a large-scale digital mechanism for monitoring nutrition-related services.
POSHAN Abhiyaan Uses Technology for Nutrition Monitoring
POSHAN Abhiyaan focuses on improving nutrition outcomes through convergence, technology and community mobilisation.
The Poshan Tracker forms an important part of the technology-based monitoring framework. It allows the Centre, states and Union Territories to review implementation and identify areas requiring attention.
Regular monitoring of children’s growth and nutrition status can help authorities assess how Anganwadi services are being delivered at the ground level.
With more than 14 lakh Anganwadi Centres and nearly nine crore beneficiaries under monitoring, the application has become a major digital tool for tracking the country’s nutrition and child development programmes.
