IPE Global is pleased to have supported the Government of Assam in developing its Social and Behaviour Change (SBC) Strategy, launched by Smt. Ajanta Neog, Hon’ble Minister for Women & Child Development and Tourism, on October 12, 2026, to improve maternal and child nutrition across the state. The strategy recognises that while maternity benefit schemes such as PMMVY provide important financial assistance, improving maternal nutrition requires more than cash transfers alone. Women and families need the knowledge and guidance to make informed nutrition choices and use these benefits effectively. Equally important is an enabling environment where families and communities support women in putting these choices into practice, backed by accessible and responsive services. Going forward, the focus will be on building frontline capacity to operationalise the SBC strategy, alongside regular progress reviews by a State-Level Committee to guide and strengthen implementation over the next five years. #MaternalNutrition #ChildNutrition #NutritionForAll #SocialAndBehaviourChange #SBCStrategy #PMMVY #WomenAndChildDevelopment #BehaviourChange #CommunityEngagement #MaternalAndChildHealth
