Q2. A Read the passage given below.
‘’ Hunger and under nutrition cannot and should not be fixed by mere calorie provision. All stakeholders must pay attention to making balanced healthy diets which are climate- friendly, affordable and accessible to all.’’ Shweta Khandelwal, Head of Nutrition Research, Public Health Foundation of India.
India ranked 94 among 107 nations in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2020 and was in
the ‘serious’ hunger category with experts blaming poor implementation processes, lack
of effective monitoring, siloed approach in tackling malnutrition and poor performance by
large states behind the low ranking.
Nepal in 73rd and Sri Lanka in 64th position were in ‘moderate’ hunger category, the
report showed.
Seventeen nations, including China, Belarus, Ukraine, Turkey, Cuba and Kuwait, shared
the top rank with the GHI scores of less than five, the website of the Global Hunger
Index, and tracks hunger and malnutrition, said on Friday. According to the report
released on Friday, 14 percent of India’s population was undernourished.
It also showed the country recorded a 37.4 per cent stunting rate among children under
five and a wasting rate of 17.3 percent. The under- five mortality rate stood at 3.7
percent.
Wasting is children who have low weight for their height, reflecting acute under-nutrition.
Stunting is children under the age of five who have low height for their age, reflecting
chronic under nutrition.
Data from 1991 through 2014 for Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan showed that
stunting was concentrated among children from households facing multiple forms of
deprivation, including poor dietary diversity, low levels of maternal education, and
household poverty.
During this period, India experienced a decline in under-five mortality, driven largely by a
decrease in deaths from birth asphyxia or trauma, neonatal infections, pneumonia, and
diarrhea, the report stated.
‘’However, child mortality, caused by prematurity and low birth-weight, increased
particularly in poorer states and rural areas. Prevention of prematurity and low
birthweight is identified as a key factor with the potential to reduce under- five mortality
in India through actions such as better ante-natal care, education, and nutrition as well
as reductions in anaemia and oral tobacco use,’’ it said.
Experts think that poor implementation processes, lack of effective monitoring and
soiled approaches to tackling malnutrition often result in poor nutrition indices.
