The need for every woman to understand the significance of maintaining a balanced diet was stressed during a one-day consultation programme on Poshan Panchayat (Engaging Panchayats to tackle malnutrition at grassroot) was held on Friday at Ima Takyel Lairembi Community Hall, Imphal West.
Addressing the function, member of MSCW, T Chougsin Koireng said that the programme was held with an objective to keep every woman healthy by way of consuming a balanced diet. Every woman should strictly follow a balanced diet in their daily life, she said.
She said that women of the state are very hard-working, playing a key role in the upliftment of the socio-economy of the state. While keeping their family and society as their top priority, women of the state usually forget to think of their own well-being, she said.

For this, there is a need to maintain a balanced diet to prevent one from any kind of deficiency diseases, Chougsin Koireng said, adding that each and every woman should understand how to maintain a balanced diet and its significance.
