Rourkela, April 15: Sundargarh district administration has extended the Strategy for Odisha’s Pathway to Accelerated Nutrition (SOPAN), a new flagship programme of state government. The programme aims at addressing any nutrition gap in children, adolescent girls, pregnant women and lactating mothers in this mining affected and tribal dominated region. The state government’s flagship nutrition initiative for remote areas SOPAN is implemented with effect from April 1 at 125 blocks under 22 districts through the Anganwadi Centres (AWC). As many as seven blocks of Sundargarh district, largely affected by mining operations, were a part of this scheme. However, utilising funds from District Mineral Foundation (DMF), the local administration now expanded this nutrition cover throughout the district. The administration also launched couple of key welfare programmes like 'Kalika' for day-care of working women's children, transformation of Govt High School Hostels, development of village ponds, apart from launching the new website for DMF Sundargarh.
