The 7MANTRA design seeks to incorporate life cycle approach by addressing nutrition, health and education needs of beneficiaries at different stages of life, viz., pregnancy, childhood, child bearing and rearing, and adolescence. There will be a much stronger focus on Nutrition, health care of mother & child and Health education and on enhancing community awareness at all levels. Stronger convergence at the operational level will be forged with health (RCH, WCD & Education) to maximize the potential for health & nutrition outcomes. Convergence opportunities may include joint training of Anganwadi Worker (AWWs), ANMs and teachers, joint supervision visits, jointly observed Mother-Child Health/Nutrition Days/school health program etc. For close convergence and linkages may be with primary schools for curricular continuity, and synchronization of timings/location of centres, where feasible and appropriate 7MANTRA makes it convenient.
