1. Which state government has partnered with UNICEF to promote fathers' involvement in encouraging breastfeeding?
The West Bengal government, in collaboration with UNICEF, has launched an initiative to encourage fathers to actively support and promote breastfeeding. This program, facilitated by Anganwadi workers, aims to enhance family involvement in breastfeeding, thereby improving exclusive breastfeeding rates during the first six months of a child's life. The initiative underscores the importance of family support, starting from conception, to ensure the health and well-being of both mother and child.
