ANC registration of pregnant women in the first trimester was 90.6% this year as compared to 88.1% last year. Collector Neha Meena said that to fight malnutrition, it is necessary to pay attention to the pregnant woman from the first trimester itself so that the child born is not malnourished. Therefore, registration of the first trimester should be done seriously in coordination with the Health Department and Women and Child Development Department. During the review, instructions were given to issue notice to the bottom sector supervisor if there is less progress in registration as compared to the target.
