Answer: Ministry of Women and Child Development
Notes: Poshan Tracker was launched by the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) in 2021. It monitors Take-Home Ration (THR) delivery under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS). The system uses e-KYC (electronic Know Your Customer) and Facial Recognition System (FRS) for beneficiary verification. It is part of Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0, supporting POSHAN Abhiyaan. Poshan Tracker is one of the world’s largest government-funded nutrition monitoring systems. Recent debates arose due to misconceptions about e-KYC and FRS, highlighting the need for better awareness and usability.
