Ministry of Tribal Affairs
The first-of-its-kind app, “Stanpan Suraksha” has been launched by Union Tribal Affairs Minister Jual Oram to promote breastfeeding. The mobile app has been developed by the Breastfeeding Promotion Network of India (BPNI). The app has a baby food promotion reporting mechanism where any person can click a photograph of inappropriate promotion around them of baby food and related equipment and send it to BPNI. The BPNI will document and analyse the reports and follow up with required action. This feature will empower people to keep check on the baby food industry.
