 How to Login

Step 0: Please visit this URL to reach the Jan Andolan Dashboard webpage:
http://poshanabhiyaan.gov.in

Step 1: Click on Data Entry on the top right corner of the Dashboard page.

Step 2: Login with your username and password

User accounts have been created for 17 ministries at Central level, and 14 Departments
at State, District, and Block Levels, that are part of the POSHAN Abhiyaan. These have
been shared separately with each Ministry and each State.

2
To ensure ease of identification, a uniform format has been followed for creating
usernames.

The usernames have two parts: first part is the Ministry identifier and second part is the
location identifier.

Eg. MoW&CD-PATNA
This shows that this id belongs to Ministry of Women and Child Development at Patna
district level.

MoW&CD-BIHAR
This shows that this id belongs to Ministry of Women and Child Development at Bihar
state level.

mow&cd-1023010
This shows that this id belongs to Ministry of Women and Child Development at Block
whose code is 1023010. This code belongs Maner block in Patna district.
While entering username for block, please keep all letters in lower case.

Please note, that states and districts are identified by names, but blocks are identified by
codes.

Each of the user id is mapped to the exact location and Department.

Please note that the user id and password should be written exactly as they have been
shared. If there is space between 2 words in state name or district name, kindly include
the space in user id and password too.

Note:
- For state and district level usernames, all letters in state name and district name
have to be in UPPER CASE
- For, block level username, all letters, including ministry name, have to be in lower
case.

and the new password must follow the following rules: at least one upper case letter, one
lower case letter, one number, and 1 special character, and the minimum length is of 8

 How to Enter Data

Step 5: Please make data entry only for activities that have been completed, and NOT
for activities that are planned.

The State, District and Block will be automatically selected based on your user account
and the level you are entering data.

For eg., if you are logging in for MoW&CD-SURAT, then the state will be selected as
Gujarat automatically, and district will be selected as Surat.

In case, a state level user or a district level user wants to make an entry for an activity
conducted at a level below, s/he can make further selection of districts and blocks.

You can enter data for a village/AWC level activity too, but there is no selection of a
particular village or AWC.

7
Note:
1. You can only enter data for your level or level below you, but not for level above
you. For eg. a district level authority can enter data for district, or for a block under
that district, or at village/AWC level, but s/he cannot enter data for the state or
centre.

Step 6: Select the Activity from the drop down, and select the relevant theme or themes
from the list below. You can press “Ctrl” on your keyboard and select or deselect
multiple themes for an activity. Since each Ministry is mandated to enter details of
activities conducted by them, please ensure that you enter details of activities
conducted by your Ministry/Department only. Eg. CBE should be entered by
MoW&CD, VHSND by MoH&FW and DAY-NRLM Weekly Meet by MoRD. Though,
AWWs, ASHA, ANM and NRLM may be attending all these meetings.

You can select only one Activity per record. Every Activity that you conduct, may cover
one or more themes. Please make the selections accordingly.

The following table will help you select the Activities and related Themes. Please do note
the tooltips along with the themes:

the activity conducted.

Step 7: Select the level for which you are entering data.

There are five levels for data entry: Central, State, District, Block and Village/AWC. Data
entry can be done by one or multiple users at each level.

Eg. If you are entering data for an anganwadi or a village level activity, then select
Village/AWC for the level. If you are entering data for a district level event, then select the
level as District.

The level may have been preselected depending on the location details entered above.
Please note, the level selected here is dependent on where the activity has
happened, and not on who is entering data of the activity.

Step 8:
Organisers are Ministries or Departments or field level functionaries who participated in
the Activity. Select the organizers from the list below. You can press “Ctrl” on your
keyboard and select multiple organizers for an activity. You can deselect the same way.

10
The list of organisers is directly linked with the level at which you are entering data, and
the list will change based on the level selected above.

Step 9: Select the Group from the next drop down and the date will get selected
automatically, in case it is a calendar specific activity. If there’s no special Group that day,
then please select Other. The dates will get set automatically based on the Group that
you select, but they can be modified as required, based on the date of the actual
activity. By default, the dates are set to today’s date.

A Group is basically a key day/week that has been specifically marked for Poshan Jan
Andolan. Eg. National Nutrition Month or International Women’s Day.

Step 10: Enter the total participants below. Please enter total adult male and female, and
children male and children female. The totals will get calculated automatically. If you do
not have data for male and female breakup, then please directly enter total participants.
If the totals do not match the individual numbers, then the user will get a warning.

11
Step 11: Upload one photograph of the activity, by clicking on Upload Picture. You can
upload only one picture, so please upload the best one. You can replace the existing
picture by clicking on Upload Picture again. Please not the photo size cannot exceed 2
MB.

reduce the size of the photo.

give a brief about how the activity was conducted and what was the response from the
community.

Step 13: Please verify all details and click Submit. Data once submitted cannot be
changed later. All fields marked with a red asterisk “*” are compulsory and have to be
filled.
