24 Pct Indian Kids Go Without Food Every Day
Dr. Rajiv Tandon, Senior Advisor, Save the Children, India said “17 percent food rate rise in one year is what has probably made 20 percent more families unable to afford a nutritionious diet.”
Another report from ‘Save the Children’ revealed that 40 percent children in India are stunted and 80 percent of stunted children are recorded to live in just 20 countries. One in four of the world children are stunted, which means their body and brain has failed to develop properly because of malnutrition. It is also noted that the global progress on stunting has been extremely slow with the proportion of stunted children falling only from 40 to 27 percent from 1990 to 2010.
The report also suggested that in the poorest countries, the poorest children are twice more likely to be chronically malnourished than their richest counterparts. Also, 450 million children will be affected by stunting in the next 15 years if the current trends continue. It was seen that adults who were malnourished as children earn at least 20 percent less on average than those who weren’t.
