Wayanad , The distribution of Amrutham Nutrimix through anganwadis is facing disruption in tribal settlements in Keralam, prompting the state Food Commission to intervene.
Women and Child Development Department officials informed the Commission that Amrutham Nutrimix manufacturing units had stopped production and distribution of the food supplement from this month. The Commission directed officials to resolve the technical issues in the supply of Amrutham Nutrimix and ensure that the scheme continued without interruption, saying the supplement was appropriate as a nutritional food for children. Amrutham Nutrimix, supplied through the Integrated Child Development Services scheme, is a low-cost, pre-cooked, ready-to-eat supplementary food formulated from locally available grains and greens.
The Commission reviewed the implementation of various schemes under the National Food Security Act, 2013, during a visit to Appappara, Kakery, Kolloor and Anakamp tribal settlements in Mananthavady taluk in this northern district on Tuesday, it said.
