The Balwadi Nutrition Programme (BNP) was started in 1970-71. It is operated through Balwadis and day-care centres which are being run by the five national voluntary organisations. There are about five thousand Balwadis implementing the programme. It is a non-expanding and non-plan activity of the government of India. At present about 2.29 lakh beneficiaries are being covered under the scheme.

I had no idea about this. A pediatric dietician can solve every problem associated with food and nutrition affecting babies, toddlers, teenagers, or young adults. You mustn’t wait too long to contact a professional like Dietitian Fit & Co if you expect your children to grow into healthy and fit adults.
