The government of India introduced the Poshan Tracker app in 2018. Malnutrition is one of the direst challenges that contemporary India is facing. In the quest of fighting malnutrition and breaking the intergenerational cycle of poor health and poverty in the communities across the country, the app was introduced by the Government. POSHAN is the abbreviated term for Prime Minister's Overarching Scheme for Holistic Nutrition Abhiyaan. According to Playstore the app has already received over 500,000 downloads across the country. However recently some users were unable to login to the app. Here’s what happened.
