🤱💚 Breastfeeding: A Child’s First Protection, A Mother’s Greatest Gift 💚🤱

📊 According to NFHS-6 (2023–24), early initiation of breastfeeding has improved from 41.8% to 50.1%, reflecting encouraging progress. However, exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months has declined from 63.7% to 55.8%, highlighting the continued need for awareness, counselling, and family support.

Breastfeeding provides:

💚 Stronger Immunity
🧠 Better Brain Development
🛡️ Protection Against Infections
🤱 Improved Maternal Health

🤝 Through the Anaemia and Malnutrition Prevention and Control Program, supported by Wipro Cares, Sukarya is empowering mothers with knowledge, care, and support to ensure that every child receives the healthiest possible start in life. 🌱✨

💚 Every Drop of Breast Milk Matters. Every Child Deserves the Best Start.
