Abstract

The India Health Report: Nutrition 2015 surveys the trends in maternal and child undernutrition in India. It looks at trends and disparities in these outcomes across geographical regions, socio-economic classes, and demographic groups. Tackling undernutrition and enabling improvements in the determinants of poor nutrition requires actions from multiple actors and sectors, and at multiple levels. In order to develop a contextually relevant, high impact and pragmatic strategy to tackle undernutrition, decision-makers need to be able to understand the extent of the problem and its determinants, and identify the most important areas for intervention.
