| description |
India, currently, has one of the highest
malnutrition rates in the world. One-third of its children
are born with low birth-weight, 43 percent of children under
five are underweight, 48 percent are stunted and 20 percent
are wasted. Stunting rates in India are two to seven folds
higher than those of other BRICS countries. Micronutrient
deficiencies are extremely high with almost 75 percent of
the under threes being anemic, 62 percent deficient in
vitamin A and over 13 million infants remaining unprotected
from iodine deficiency disorders. There are large
differentials in the prevalence across states and socio
economic groups. Sixty percent of the malnutrition burden
exists in low income states: Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand,
Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. The
Government's policy commitment to address malnutrition
and the multitude of programs that are being implemented,
progress in reducing under nutrition has been slow. It
therefore becomes imperative to address the malnutrition
challenge and to prevent and reduce maternal and child
malnutrition as early as possible across the life cycle
especially through pregnancy and in the first two years of
life, i.e., in the first 1,000 days of life, and in
adolescent girls and women. In order to accelerate
improvements across the states, the Government of India
(GOI) has made policy commitments to mobilize multisectoral
action to address the multiple causes of malnutrition
effectively through formulating a multisectoral strategy and
a multisectoral program to be implemented in 200 high
malnutrition burden districts of the country. The
multisectoral strategy also aims to bring a strong nutrition
focus in various sectoral plans to address maternal and
child malnutrition. |
