The announcement was made as the government decided to devote attention and resources towards integrating numerous nutrition schemes in the country. Mission Poshan 2.0 brings together the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS)—Anganwadi Services, Supplementary Nutrition Programme, Poshan Abhiyaan, Scheme for Adolescent Girls and National Crèche Scheme. The erstwhile Poshan Abhiyan (National Nutrition Mission) is still there with the existing targets. Mission Poshan 2.0 has been launched as an Umbrella Scheme.
