Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the previous TDP government had spent only around ₹500 crore annually on providing nutritious food to pregnant women, lactating mothers and children. “The YSRCP government is incurring an annual expenditure of ₹2,300 crore in this regard. We are strengthening such programmes to ensure that our future generations are healthy. The government is not hesitating to spend more on that supply of nutritious food to pregnant women, lactating mothers and children. The officials need to focus on eradicating malnutrition and anaemia,” he said.
