The Ministry of Women and Child Development has announced a change in the toll-free helpline number for POSHAN and the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) to make it easier for citizens to remember and access support services. The new helpline number 1515 will be live from 1^st November 2025, replacing the existing number 14408.

This change has been introduced to simplify recall and improve accessibility for beneficiaries seeking assistance under POSHAN and PMMVY schemes. As integration is in process, users may experience a brief transition period. During this time, if callers are unable to connect to the new number 1515, they are advised to continue using the old number 14408.

The helpline will continue to serve as a single point of contact for queries, information, and support related to POSHAN and PMMVY. The Ministry remains committed to ensuring smooth communication and uninterrupted support for all beneficiaries across the country.
