Digitising the processes and facilitating data-driven management for addressing the overall development goals

The project supports the Central Program Management Unit of Poshan Abhiyaan in conducting training across the states. Numerous important portals, apps, and tools have been devised by the team which is part of the health system strengthening process in Bihar.
