                                     We met Anganawadi workers and Asha workers. their gave important information about nutrition. Government provided more program, food, and facilities to nutrition children. I saw nutrition children in Anganawadi. We visited many home and which kind of food parents are giving now, and more discussed. really this was good experience to me.
