Abstract
Malnutrition, defined as underweight, is a serious public-health problem that has been linked to a substantial increase in the risk of mortality and morbidity. Women and young children bear the brunt of the disease burden associated with malnutrition. Malnutrition has become an urgent global health issue, with under nutrition killing or disabling millions of children each year. Malnutrition also prevents millions more from reaching their full intellectual and productive potential. In children, severe malnutrition accounts for approximately 1 million deaths annually1, with approximately 20 million children under the age of five suffering from severe malnutrition. India, the 7th biggest republican country draws the limelight for its pluralistic, multilingual and multiethnic society. Ironically it also claimed its position for bringing forth a very immense number of malnourished children. Malnutrition is a condition where the body is deprived of minimum daily nourishment. India is ranked second in having malnourished children. There is a myth that the Indian children are well nourished than the children in Africa, but the latest statistics by the WHO and UNICEF reveals our ignorance.
