  Our nation is on the cusp of writing history in terms of its economic development. The young population of our country carries the responsibility of leading the nation towards prosperous future with better social and economic standing.Anemia, however, remains a major public health issue with high prevalence across the country irrespective of gender, age and geography. In order to intensify fight against anemia in terms of its prevention and control leading to better health outcomes for the country’s population, in congruence with the POSHAN Abhiyaan,“Anemia Mukt Bharat” was launched. The strategy emphasizes on improving supply chain, targeted monitoring and continuous social mobilization using various channels of communication. aiming to achieve long term health and economic outcomes.Recent data as per National Family Health Survey-4 shows that anemia affects 53% of women in reproductive age group (15–49 years), 23% of men and 50% of pregnant women in the country. Further analysis shows considerably high disparity of anemia prevalence among rural and urban areas, where disadvantaged groups (particularly scheduled tribes) and children and women in households in the lower wealth quintiles have higher prevalence of anemia. India’s National Health Policy (2017) recognizes anemia as a deterrent to maternal and child survival and overall productivity of the nation. The policy also emphasizes on a need for intensifying efforts to address all causes of anemia for accelerating decline in anemia prevalence, in a mission mode using a unified multi-pronged strategy rather than multiple programmes. At the same time, Government of India has also made a commitment to Global World Health Assembly target of 50% reduction of anemia among women of reproductive age by 2025 and the POSHAN Abhiyaan (2018–2020), ambitious target to reduce prevalence of anemia among children 6–59 months, adolescents and women of reproductive age 15–49 years by 3 percentage points per year.
