Mukhyamantri Amrut Yojana is another scheme by Chhattisgarh government for the welfare of poor people and especially poor children by the motive of eradicating malnutrition from the state. The scheme was announced by Chief Minister Dr. Raman Singh in the financial budget of the state in the year 2016-2017 and the state launched the scheme on 29th April 2016 at Sukma. The scheme will serve 100 ml of sweetened and flavored milk to the children in the age group of 3-6 years at Anganwadi centers on every Monday. There are many families belonging to below poverty line who cannot afford little things essential for the proper growth of their children and hence the scheme is there to rescue such children.

Since the scheme is launched Chhattisgarh became the first state to serve flavored milk to BPL children
