The programme of imparting knowledge relating to health and nutrition to anganawadi workers of rural areas is very important, Taluk Panchayat President Ravi Kumar said here while inaugurating the two-day training programme in nutrition for anganawadi workers.

Many mothers are not aware of a proper nutritional diet for their children and such training programmes help in the healthy development of a child and ensure that it enjoys a healthy childhood.

Taluk Panchayat CEO Nagaraju said that women should take advantage of such programmes which impart knowledge relating to health and hygiene to enable them to keep their surroundings clean.

Child Development Programme officer Honneshappa, who spoke on the occasion, said that emphasis should be laid on mother and child development programme.
