One Nation One Anganwadi Programme
Under this programme even if people relocate to another State, they can receive benefits given by the government to children under six years of age and pregnant and lactating women.
Under the programme each migrant worker who had registered in their original state could go to the nearest Anganwadi in their current place of residence and avail of the schemes and services offered.
This was possible through coordination between the Central and the State governments by using the Poshan Tracker app on mobile phones.
An age-appropriate take home ration is also being designed for children up to six years of age and a proposal has been sent for the same to the finance ministry.
Poshan app:
This application provides a 360-degree view of the activities of the Anganwadi Centre (child care centers), service deliveries of Anganwadi Workers and complete beneficiary management for pregnant women, lactating mothers and children under six.

It also digitizes and automates physical registers used by workers to help improve the quality of their work.
The Anganwadi workers are being provided smartphones procured through the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) for efficient service delivery.
