The Participatory Approach for Nutrition in Children: Strengthening Health, Education, Engineering and Environment Linkages (PANChSHEEEL) project is a collaboration between University College London, Save the Children India, Jawaharlal Nehru University and Indian Institute of Technology Delhi to develop a socio-culturally appropriate, tailored, integrated and interdisciplinary intervention in rural India and test its acceptability for delivery through Anganwadi Centre (AWCs) and schools. Recognizing the socio-ecological determinants of under-nutrition, the POSHAN Abhiyan (POSHAN Mission) adopts a multi-sectoral approach to achieve five goals, of which two are directly related to children. The POSHAN Abhiyan resonates with the conceptual framework of the PANChSHEEEL study in its interdisciplinary scope and focus on local linka ges. This paper draws upon empirical evidence from the PANChSHEEEL Project in Banswara (one of the POSHAN mission districts), Rajasthan to help understand linkages between policy and practice, specifically the challenges of operationalizing 'convergence', the core strategy of the Abhiyan.
儿童营养参与式方法（PANChSHEEEL）项目是伦敦大学学院、印度救助儿童会、印度贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁大学和印度德里印度理工学院之间的合作项目，旨在为印度农村地区制定一种社会文化上适宜、量身定制、综合和跨学科的干预措施，并通过安格恩瓦迪中心（AWCs）和学校测试其可交付性。认识到营养不良的社会生态决定因素，POSHAN 倡议（POSHAN 使命）采取多部门方法来实现五个目标，其中两个与儿童直接相关。POSHAN 倡议在其跨学科范围和对本地联系的关注方面与 PANChSHEEEL 研究的概念框架产生共鸣。本文利用来自拉贾斯坦邦班斯瓦拉（POSHAN 使命地区之一）PANChSHEEEL 项目的实证证据，帮助理解政策和实践之间的联系，特别是该倡议的核心战略——“趋同”的实施挑战。
