He further congratulated the two teams from Nagaland which received the National Awards at the Poshan Award ceremony recently at New Delhi and the other nine teams for receiving the State award. <\/div>\n
He also encouraged the line departments to continue to work in convergence so as to uplift the health and nutritional status among the children, adolescent girls, pregnant women and lactating mothers to make Nagaland a “Mal Nourished Free State” in tune with the rest of the country by March 2022. <\/div>\n
