The ‘Poshan Tracker’ has achieved nationwide coverage across all 28 States and 8 Union Territories, registering over 8.93 crore beneficiaries (till May), the government said on Wednesday.
Mobile based ‘Poshan Tracker’ now supports dynamic monitoring of the Supplementary Nutrition Programme under Anganwadi Services and, as of May, recorded over 5.5 crore beneficiaries having received supplementary nutrition for at least 15 days while 5.17 crore received it for at least 21 days, according to an official statement.
The platform covers six beneficiary categories across the life cycle, from early childhood and adolescence to pregnancy and motherhood, reflecting the comprehensive and inclusive approach of ‘Poshan Abhiyaan’.
The platform maintains a live monthly database tracking nutrition indicator for over 7.7 crore children using verified Aadhaar authenticated data. It enables real-time dashboards, heat maps, and evidence-based policymaking.
The tracker also enabled growth monitoring for over 6.3 crore children aged 0–5 years, covering nearly 94 per cent of registered beneficiaries as of May 2026. The application tracks stunting, underweight, wasting (SAM/MAM), and overweight or obesity indicators.
