• Who: India Health Report: Nutrition 2015
• When: 10 December 2015
Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare J P Nadda on 10 December 2015 released the India Health Report: Nutrition 2015.
The report by Transform Nutrition consortium offers a critical analysis of the current situation with nutrition at the national and state levels in India.
As per the report, there is an urgent need for accelerating action at the state-level which is essential for changing the trajectory of India's children’s future as the battle against under nutrition must now be fought at ground level in communities and at homes.
Highlights of the India Health Report: Nutrition 2015
• It provides easy-to-understand, state-wise data dashboards for 28 states and Delhi that give a comprehensive view of nutrition and its determinants.
• It looks at disparities in these outcomes and their multiple determinants across geographical regions, socio-economic classes, and demographic groups and helps identify strategic choices for policy-making at the state level.
• It's ultimate goal is to deepen and focus the policy dialogue in India, raise awareness about the multisectoral nature of undernutrition and highlight areas for action, especially at the state-level.
• Stunting, wasting and underweight rates of India’s children have declined, especially during the last decade. However, India lags behind the world and its neighbours on the nutritional status of children.
• The rate of improvement in nutritional status has not kept pace with India’s significant gains in economic prosperity and agricultural productivity during recent decades.
