Abstract
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).Citation
