Bhubaneswar: Odisha has excelled in the Anemia Mukt Bharat Index 2020-21 and has ranked second in the country.

The Odisha Government’s effort to reduce anaemia prevalence has borne fruitful results as the State has been ranked 2 in country in IFA supplementation under Anemia Mukt Bharat 2020-21, said the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) in a tweet.
Anemia Mukt Bharat is an initiative of UNICEF and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare which has been launched to reduce the prevalence of anemia all over the country. Anemia is caused due to iron deficiency which impacts the capacity of an individual’s blood cells to carry oxygen.
The scheme aims at providing bi-weekly iron Folic acid supplementation to the children under age five through Asha workers. It also provided biannual deworming for adolescents and children.
