The provincial nutrition strategy aims to improve population nutrition wellbeing. It focuses on remedial measures for addressing nutritional issues that have not only been adversely affecting the behvioural, cognitive, scholastic, physical performances but have also been increasing morbidity and mortality and impairing socioeconomic development. The role of nutrition in health and socioeconomic development has been well established and recognized. Avoiding and ignoring nutrition issues lead to a vicious cycle of health related problems along with increased sufferings of the families and that perpetuate from one generation to another in terms of health and wealth.
