Proper nutrition in childhood can reinforce lifelong eating habits that contribute to children's overall well-being and help them to grow up to their full potential and a healthy life.
Schools are powerful places to shape the health, education and well-being of our children.
The NIN's National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau carried out the study in states for a population of 5,000 pre-school children. It found that, overall, 45.6% of the children in rural areas are underweight and undernourished with 49.6% of them showing stunted growth.The children need to be given tender, tasty and fresh food. It is alarming that every second child in India is starving.Data on the health of Sahariya children in five Rajasthan villages are shocking: apart from 42% of children who are malnourished, 25.93% are severely malnourished and 1.85% suffer severe, acute malnourishment.
The report, which surveyed 1,09,093 children and 74,000 women in 112 districts, including 100 districts with the poorest child development indicators found that prevalence of child malnutrition had dipped to 42 % from 53 % in the last seven years. “This represents a 20.3 % decrease over a seven year period with an average annual rate of reduction of 2.9 %,” the report states.
