Health & Nutrition

The Significance

Health and Nutrition are integral to development. They are the indicators of a country’s approach towards holistic development, and are key focus areas in a developing nation’s efforts towards reducing poverty, hunger and mortality. A population affected by poor health resulting from or in spite of poor nutrition is limited in productivity and is prone to fall into the vicious cycle of poverty. India is still dealing with the issues of undernutrition and malnutrition among children, while also performing poorly on Maternal and Child Healthcare indicators.

The Government of India has put in place a number of programmes and schemes in order to address the issues relating to health and nutrition. The Public Distribution System (PDS) for Food Security of the poor, The Mid-day meal scheme to improve the nutritional status of children, Integral Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme for improving nutrition and health status of infants and young children, The SABLA scheme providing ration to adolescent girls are just to name a few. More recently, The Government of India has launched the National Nutrition Mission, with a goal of attaining a Malnutrition-free India by 2022.
