What is it about?
Malnutrition is described by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a person's energy and/or nutrient consumption being insufficient, excessive, or out of proportion. Health officials in India are quite concerned about malnutrition in children under five. Recent research revealed a significant frequency of undernutrition among children under the age of five. It is estimated that malnutrition affects roughly 2/3 of India's population under the age of five and that 5–8% of those children are severely malnourished.
