Nutrition guidelines approved by Niti Aayog
Why it is in news?
- The NITI Aayog has approved the supplementary nutrition guidelines, prepared by the Ministry for Women and Child Development, bypassing Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi following intervention by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO)
- The PMO had stepped in to end a more than yearlong stand-off between Ms. Gandhi and the Ministry’s officials in the wake of sharp differences over the proposed norms.
Concerns
- The debate continues to haunt the government about the mode of implementation.
- The Govt currently lacks the data about the quality of food with the different kinds of models that exist
- There is no data systems about the quality of food, how people use it, and what people think about it
