Health & Nutrition
Health Is considered as "Wealth",
but it is a dream for many of us specially the children living on street or those who comes from poor families living below the poverty line
As per the Women and Child Development ministry estimate as of October 14, 2021, there are 17.76 lakh or 1.7 million severely acute malnourished children (SAM) which results in serious health problems.
Poverty, Poor Sanitation, Un-healthy diet and Un-Hygenic condition are the main contributors to child health problems and child/infant mortality.
Though India is developing at a much faster rate than ever before, at the same due to the economic inequality and continuous increase in the size of its population, the number of hungry and mal-nutrition children are also increasing day by day. As per the data, India is home to more than 25% of all hungry people in the world. There are 44% of children under the age of 5 are underweight. 72% of infants. According to the report, 14 percent of India’s population is 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 per cent.
The Global Hunger Index of 2020 places India in the 97th spot out of 107 (developing and under-developing nations). Internet is full of such data and indexes nowadays. We can talk about it all day and get freaked out seeing such big numbers, but it is not going to help solve the real issue our society is facing right now.
Well, it seems to be a bigger problem to deal with and if you think so, then you are absolutely correct, it is bigger but honestly, it’s not impossible to reduce it if not solve it 100% provided we all do our bit and come along to work towards the common goal. There are ways you can help reduce malnutrition, thus ensuring the child is healthy and free from diseases.
