A marathon meeting was held between the state government and various partners as well as departments to discuss the initiative’s future steps.
The government is partnering with IIT Bombay to provide breastfeeding training in order to address issues like stunting.
The centres, to be constructed with the help of the C&RD Department, will also feature improved learning environments.
