Kitchen Garden will bolster our growth: Smt H. Sahkhar, CDPO Mawkyrwat

Mawkyrwat, September 08, 2021: The office of the Child Development Project Officer, Mawkyrwat today organised plantation drive and demonstration about kitchen gardening for School Teachers and Anganwadi workers at Maharam Government Higher Secondary School, Mawkyrwat as part of the celebration of Rashtriya Poshan Maah, 2021.

Speaking on the occasion Smt. H.Sahkhar, CDPO, ICDS Project Mawkyrwat gave a brief introduction about POSHAN MAAH saying that it is Jan Andolan movement of Poshan Abhiyaan which  was launched by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi in March 2018. She added that it is a flagship programme to improve nutritional outcomes for children, pregnant women and lactating mothers aiming for Holistic Nutrition and increase nutritional awareness and responsiveness. She also spoke about the five types of illness caused by malnutrition that include wasting, stunting, underweight, deficiencies in vitamins and minerals and anaemia. She advised teachers to encourage adolescent boys and girls to take nutritious food so that there is a holistic growth in them and added that malnutrition will hamper physical and mental growth or learning growth and social activity to children. She suggested that they need to take Iron Folic Acid to increase their iron level and deworming tablets to eliminate parasitic worms and larvae so that they absorb the critical nutrients needed to stay healthy. She also spoke about the presence of white and red blood cells in our body. While speaking about eating habits she said that taking tea often is not good for our health because it will interfere with absorption of iron, lead to dehydration, increased anxiety and restlessness, and may weaken the kidney. While speaking about Kitchen Garden she said that ‘Kitchen Garden will bolster our growth because of the nutritious and organic vegetables, fruits and herbs that we get”.

Shri. T. Wanniang, Inspector, o/o District Horticulture Officer, Mawkyrwat, explained and gave a demonstration on Kitchen Gardening. He said that Kitchen Garden is a small portion of land besides our house where we can grow variety of organic vegetables, fruits and herbs that we love to eat and free from poisonous chemicals. It is an importance space where we cultivate, relax, get nutritious food and fresh air for healthy living. He added that the vegetables, fruits and herbs we cultivate are not only nutritious and free from chemical fertilizers but we have great trust in them because we know what we eat. He further said that since the kitchen garden is close, we could take care of the plants well at our leisure or free time and get fresh vegetables and fruits whenever is needed. However, he added that when we want to grow something we need to know what type of vegetables to grow as per the season, time, type of soil and what manure to be used otherwise our efforts will be wasted. Through this initiative of Kitchen Garden, he urged people to take active role to grow vegetables so that Mawkyrwat area will at least increase the level of vegetables production for self-consumption and for supply of fresh vegetables and fruits to the market. He encouraged people to prepare organic manure and used it in their kitchen garden because self-prepared natural manure will be safer and better. After the programme he gave a demonstration to grow different types of vegetables at Maharam Govt. Higher Secondary School Kitchen Garden.

The programme was chaired by Smt. N. Wanniang, Lady Supervisor, welcome speech by Smt. I Nongsiej, District Coordinator, Poshan Abhiyaan and vote of thanks was delivered by Smt. T. Wanniang, Lady Supervisor.
