A mission to combat malnourishment among children aged six months to five years has earned the SKOCH Award for southern Assam’s Cachar district.
Instituted in 2003, SKOCH Award recognises people, projects and institutions that go the extra mile to make India a better nation.
The award-winning programme entailed a coordinated socio-economic approach for malnourished children of families below the poverty line. Government agencies, local civic bodies, NGOs and businessmen had come together to provide nutritional support to such children.
