India is a predominantly agrarian country with a large agricultural sector. Despite the share of agriculture in India’s GDP dwindling to around 15 percent, almost half of India’s population is employed in the agri sector. As India is home to the second largest area of cultivable land in the world, it is also a major producer of a large number of agricultural products. India is the world’s largest producer of milk and a major producer of pulses.
Malnutrition among under-five children is an important concern for the health authorities in India. The aim of the present review was to assess the burden of under-nutrition and over-nutrition, its determinants and strategies required to tackle malnutrition among under-five children in India.Existing evidence shows that the prevalence of under-nutrition among under-five children was high and varied widely (under-weight: 39-75%, stunting: 15.4-74%, wasting: 10.6-42.3%) depending on the assessment methodology adopted. Studies on assessment of over-nutrition status among under-five children were limited.
Undernutrition among under five children in India is a major public health problem. Despite India’s growth in the economy, the child mortality rate due to undernutrition is still high in both urban and rural areas. Studies that focus on urban slums are scarce. Hence the present study was carried out to assess the prevalence and determinants of undernutrition in children under five in Maharashtra, India.
