New Delhi, December 12: There is a good opportunity for creative minds across the country to design a logo and suggest a tagline for its prestigious 'National Nutrition Mission'. Ministry of Women & Child Development has launched a contest giving out opportunities to anyone interested to see their work on the national platform. The winner will also get a good amount of prize money.
National Nutrition Mission (NNM) is a weapon the government has taken in hands against the malnourishment. The Central Government approved the National Nutrition Mission to ensure holistic development and adequate nutrition for pregnant women, mothers, and children. The programme targets to reduce the level of stunting, under-nutrition, anemia and low birth rate. Accordingly, it was felt pertinent to launch an appropriate logo and tagline to generate awareness among the masses.
The initiative will also engage citizens in a governmental process. “As has been the practice of the Ministry to engage with citizens, the Ministry proposes to invite entries from the public for the same. In keeping with the overwhelming response received on similar contests run on the Ministry’s Social Media platform, it is proposed to award a prize money of Rs 1 lakh to the winner, ” Women and Child Development Minister, Maneka Sanjay Gandhi said.
