In Uttarakhand, POSHAN Maah started with awareness programmes on setting up kitchen gardens. Currently, kitchen gardens are being established at Anganwadi Centres where nutrient-rich vegetables have been planted. A number of these gardens are also using Hydroponic technique of farming which is a system of growing crops without soil, often called soilless farming. According to the Ministry of Women and Child Development, Anganwadi workers in Uttarakhand are also encouraging people in rural areas to grow their own vegetables in their homes.
