Answer 1

Answer:

B. To manage and monitor nutrition services and track child malnutrition indicators.

• The primary purpose of the POSHAN Tracker application is to manage and monitor India's nutrition services. It is a tool used by Anganwadi workers and supervisors to track the nutritional status of women and children in real time. The app helps to identify and manage child malnutrition indicators, and it also monitors the distribution of supplementary nutrition to beneficiaries.
