BISP organised a training workshop for its BISP Beneficiary Committee (BBCs) in Rawalpindi divisional office in collaboration with National Fortification Alliance (NFA). This initiative sets a very important agenda for BBCs for generating awareness among BISP beneficiaries regarding diets containing nutrition values. This awareness will help in saving beneficiaries from malnutrition and stunting. BISP has around 47000 BBCs in 32 districts of the country.
Each BBC comprises of 25-30 members and it elects its own leader. These BBCs are a platform for creating awareness among beneficiaries through monthly meetings on the issues related to BISP and other matters which are important for their welfare. Chairperson BISP, MNA Marvi Memon, who was present on the occasion, said that by improving nutrition values in the diet of our population especially women and children, the grave issues of malnourishment and stunting can be addressed in the country and it will cause an increase of 3 percent in the GDP of the country.-PR
