Convergence and behavioural change are the two pillars of National Nutrition Mission (NNM), which has turned into a mass movement now, Niti Aayog vice chairman Rajiv Kumar said today.

The mission aims to reduce stunting, undernutrition, anaemia among children, women and adolescent girls along with reducing low birth weight in the country.

"Convergence and behavioural change are the two pillars of Poshan Abhiyaan (NNM). The united efforts of our stakeholders are positively impacting the health of our women and children.

"The mission's momentum has been accelerated into a Jan Andolan (mass movement)," Kumar said while addressing seminar 'TECH-THON : Technology Partnerships for Poshan Abhiyaan.'
