India's government is calling for ideas on how to improve the nutritional status of mothers and children under the age of 5 in the country.
The Poshan Innovation Platform, announced Saturday, "will provide a collaborative space for educational institutions, start-ups, university incubators, civil society networks, and businesses in India to present ground-breaking innovations with proof of concept," per an official statement.

The PIP is being hosted by the Catalyst 2030, India Nutrition Collaborative, a new and growing group of organizations and individuals from academia, businesses, government, and civil society, working in the area of "'Good health and well-being, and zero hunger.'" innovations that have a proof of concept with implementation and evidence around sustainability, impact, and last-mile delivery.
