Prevalence of Undernutrition and Evidence on Interventions: Challenges for India
Published By: MSE on eSS | Published Date: July, 01 , 2014In the Indian context, the challenge to reducing undernutrition is twofold. Firsty, the
evidence on the prevalence of undernutrition as well as its trend over the years varies by
indicators and by regions. Secondly, the information base on the feasibility, viability and
the impact of the central or the state level programmes dealing with undernutrition is
very weak. This makes it difficult to draw inferences and conclusions about how changes
are effected, what needs to be given priority when economic resources are limited, and
the regional challenges involving manpower in implementing the schemes.
