The MUB initiative is one of the largest nutrition garden interventions in the world. The unique aspect of the programme is that unlike other programmes that are implemented privately by NGOs, MUB is being implemented by the state government.

The documentation of ‘Mo Upakari Bagicha (MUB) Programme’ – an initiative undertaken by Odisha Livelihood Mission (OLM), Govt. of Odisha and Azim Premji Foundation (APF) – is very timely. The document provides a detailed documentation of the whole process of conceptualization, piloting, scaling up of approaches and strategies adopted by MUB initiative. We sincerely hope that this document will not only help to disseminate the knowledge related to MUB initiative widely, but also inspire the CSOs, other State Rural Livelihood Missions (SRLMs) and Government departments to adopt these learnings in their own context.
