| Summary: | Over the past two decades India has seen
significant improvements in household incomes, agricultural
productivity and child survival, although malnutrition among
children remains high, despite improvements over the last
decade. While stunting and underweight prevalence has gone
down, trends in corporal wasting show an overall increase in
the last decade. The decrease in stunting has been from 48
percent to 38.4 percent, (1 percentage point per year).
Similarly, underweight prevalence has reduced by 0.68
percentage points from National Family Health Survey
(NFHS)-3 (2005-06) to NFHS-4 (2015-16). |
