Rationalisation of govt bodies: WCD ministry 'officially' dissolves Food and Nutrition Board

The Women and Child Development (WCD) Ministry has officially dissolved the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB), a technical wing of the ministry responsible for providing technical and logistical support for community nutrition programmes. The FNB had a network of offices and quality control laboratories in Delhi, Faridabad, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai. The decision came after a Cabinet meeting in April last year, following recommendations from the Principal Economic Adviser's report on the rationalisation of government bodies.
