Why was Anemia Mukt Bharat needed?
Anemia is a silent epidemic impacting our physical growth, mental and work capacity, and lives of future generations. All population groups in India are
affected by anemia and, hence, Government Tamil Nadu has intensified its efforts to tackle this problem.

INTERVENTIONS:
1. Prophylactic Iron Folic Acid Supplementation

3. Intensified year-round Behaviour Change Communication Campaign including ensuring delayed cord clamping
4. Testing of anemia using digital methods and point of care treatment
5. Mandatory provision of iron folic acid fortified food in public health programmes
