Dhankar directs depts to prepare action plan for next five years

Chandigarh, Sep 18 (UNI) Haryana Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Om Prakash Dhankar directed the concerned departments to prepare an action plan for the next five years, and to expedite their development works so that the people of the state would get the basic facilities and every single person could avail benefits of government schemes.
Giving these directions while presiding over meeting with the Heads of Departments here on Wednesday, Mr Dhankar said that children studying science subjects in schools should also be taught to check soil, water and milk. This will enable them to know about adulterated food items. Not only children will become aware but they will also make others aware of it.
It was informed in the meeting that the Women and Child Development Department will work exclusively towards making Haryana free of anemia in the next five years under which information related to nutritious diet will be given to parents and pregnant women to overcome the deficiency of anemia. There is a need to promote the intake of organic foods so that nutrients in sufficient quantity are found in food items. Awareness programs are already being run by the Department. In the next five years, work will be done towards transforming the Anganwadi Centres into modern Anganwadi Centres.
