Our Assessment

high

Poshan Abhiyan / Mission Poshan 2.0 and the Scheme for Adolescent Girls cover nutrition and anaemia-related support for adolescent girls, including Uttarakhand implementation; however, elimination of anaemia is not verified and evidence supports programme coverage rather than outcome completion. The programme framework and adolescent-girl nutrition support exist, but the manifesto promised thorough statewide coverage with the objective of eliminating anaemia; available evidence does not establish elimination or full district-level outcome delivery. Budget: Budget support exists through central/state nutrition schemes; no Uttarakhand-only anaemia-elimination allocation isolated.
