Despite substantial economic growth, India has one of the highest undernutrition rates
in the world; it is home to almost 40 per cent of the world's stunted children. This
volume assesses the status and causes of undernutrition in the country, and examines
the effectiveness of policies designed to address undernutrition. The essays tackle
wide-ranging themes and challenging issues including nutrition; water, sanitation
and hygiene (WASH); maternal, neonatal and child health; Integrated Child Development
Services (ICDS); Public Distribution System (PDS); crop procurement; and National
Food Security Act 2013. With contributions from leading academic researchers, policymakers,
as well as civil society representatives, this volume will be indispensable to scholars,
teachers and students of public policy, development economics, development sociology,
and Indian economy. It will also be useful to government institutions, think tanks
and NGOs
