Governor Emphasises Nutrition‑Rich Local Foods in State Welfare Programmes

Beyond mere grain availability, Governor Parnik urged the integration of locally sourced, nutrient‑dense foods into government nutrition schemes. She advocated the inclusion of millets, fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and pulses to combat malnutrition among children, pregnant women, lactating mothers and other at‑risk groups.

The governor underscored that a balanced diet, drawn from regional produce, is pivotal for building a healthier Arunachal Pradesh and achieving long‑term food security.
