Child Manutrition In India
The Child In Need Institute UK published a report on Child Malnutrition in India, on 15th May 2009. This report dispels myths about malnutrition in India being a result of poverty, or that its rates are lower than those in Africa.
The report includes practical recommendations about training mothers on how to prepare nutritious meal on the tightest of budgets, preventative healthcare that can help ward of illnesses that make it difficult to absorb nutrients, and the home treatment of diarrhoea. The charity’s experience has shown that these measures have the potential to halve rates of malnutrition within a five-year time-frame.
The entire report can be read at :
