Full guide
What the scheme gives you
Mukhyamantri Bal Poshan Yojana is Uttarakhand’s scheme to fight malnutrition in young children by adding protein and fruit to the food given at Anganwadi Centres. Children aged 3 to 6 who attend an Anganwadi get a fixed weekly menu: banana chips on Monday and Tuesday, and eggs on Wednesday and Saturday. Children who do not eat eggs are given a banana instead on those days, and if bananas are not available, a seasonal fruit — so every enrolled child is covered.
Who can apply
You are eligible if:
- Your child is between 3 and 6 years old
- Your child is a permanent resident of Uttarakhand
- Your child is enrolled at an Anganwadi Centre
How to register
Registration is done in person at your nearest Anganwadi Centre. Take your child along, collect the registration form from the ASHA or Anganwadi worker, and complete the enrolment with proof of the child’s birth. Once registered, your child receives the nutrition on the fixed weekly schedule at the centre — no fee is involved.
