Several districts have already started giving the nutritional allowance of Rs.20,000 to pregnant women who were not entitled to it in the months of June and July this year.
Accordingly, it is reported that the opportunity to get the nutrition allowance for the months of June and July will be available in the month of September.
The Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs stated that the program of providing nutritional allowance to pregnant women was temporarily suspended due to the lack of provision, but based on the provisions received at present, it is planned to provide the relevant allowance throughout the island in several stages.
Meanwhile, the proposal regarding increasing the nutritional allowance given to pregnant women has also been submitted for approval of the Cabinet of Ministers.
