Those officials distributed nourishment kits among those children of their own.
Collector Chandra Mohon Thakur himself monitored the campaign. He visited Ichhawar, Budhni and Nasrullahganj.
Thakur met the family members of those children and advised them about how to deal with malnourishment and provide food.
Women and Child Welfare Department officer, Prafulla Khatri said that the campaign was being run under the collector’s guidance.
The non-governmental organisations were also working in tandem with the officials to deal with malnourishment, he said.
The massage oil, healthy food and nourishment kits were distributed among the children and a team was monitoring those children, Khatri said.
