(SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a) to (d): A statement is laid on the table of the House.

Statement referred to in reply to part (a) to (d) Lok Sabha Starred Question No.
171 for answer on 29.11.2019 by SHRI DEEPAK BAIJ regarding Malnutrition

(a) to (d) As per National Family Health Surveys (NFHS-4) conducted by the
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, 35.7% children under 5 years of age are
underweight, 38.4% are stunted and 58.5% children are anaemic indicating a
reduction from the previous NFHS – 3 conducted in 2005-06, which reported 42.5%
children under 5 years of age as underweight, 48% stunted and 69.5% as anaemic.
As per the report of Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey (CNNS) (2016-18),
prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight among children is 34.7%, 17%
and 33.4% respectively, which is a reduction from the levels reported by NFHS -4.

Malnutrition is a complex and multi-dimensional issue, affected by a number of generic

factors including poverty, inadequate food consumption due to access and availability,
inequitable food distribution, improper maternal infant and child feeding and care
practices, inequity and gender imbalances, poor sanitary and environmental
conditions; and restricted access to quality health, education and social care services.

The Government has accorded high priority to the issue of malnutrition and is making
serious efforts to eradicate malnutrition. Several schemes with direct as well as
indirect interventions are being implemented across the country. Schemes like
Anganwadi Services, Scheme for Adolescent Girls and Pradhan Mantri Matru
Vandana Yojna (PMMVY) under the Umbrella Integrated Child Development Services
(ICDS) Scheme as direct targeted interventions are being implemented to address the
problem of malnutrition among women and children in the country.

Anganwadi Services, aims to improve the nutritional and health status of children in
the age-group 0-6 years, pregnant women & lactating mothers and reduce the
incidence of mortality, morbidity and malnutrition. Under the Scheme, a package of six
services is provided through a network of Anganwadi Centers, which include
supplementary nutrition, pre-school non-formal education, nutrition & health
education, immunization, health check-up and referral services. National Food
Security Act, promulgated in 2013, has mandated the nutritional entitlement for the
beneficiaries of Anganwadi Services as legal entitlement. The scheme is universal
and open to all the eligible beneficiaries. A total number of 1.60 crore women and 6.75
crore children are benefitted under the Anganwadi Services as on 30.06.2019
(Annexure-I)

Scheme for Adolescent Girls is implemented for out-of-school adolescent girls in the
age group of 11-14 years for self-development and empowerment of adolescent girls;
improvement of nutritional and health status; to promote awareness about health,
hygiene & nutrition; support to out of school Adolescent Girls for successful transition
back to formal schooling or bridge learning/skill training; upgrade their home-based
skills and life skills. A total number of 4.76 lakh Adolescent Girlsare benefitted under
the SAG scheme as on 14.11.2019 (Annexure-II)

The objective of Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) is to provide

cash incentive to improve health seeking behaviour amongst the Pregnant Women &
Lactating Mothers (PW&LM) and to compensate partially the wage loss in terms of
cash incentive so that the woman can take adequate rest before and after delivery of
the first child. A total number of 1.11 crore beneficiaries have benefitted under
PMMVY and Rs. 4,501.50 Crore have been dispersed to the beneficiaries as on
27.11.2019 (Annexure-III)
Government has set up POSHAN Abhiyaan on 18.12.2017 for a three year time
frame commencing from 2017-18 with an overall budget of Rs. 9046 Crore. To ensure
a holistic approach, all 37 States/UTs and districts have been covered. The goals of
POSHAN Abhiyaan are to achieve improvement in nutritional status of Children from
0-6 years, Adolescent Girls, Pregnant Women and Lactating Mothers in a time bound
manner during the three years with fixed targets as under:

S.No Objective Target

1. Prevent and reduce Stunting in children (0- 6 years) By 6% @ 2% p.a.

participants which is also evident from more than 3.4 million impressions generated
on Twitter and 8,60,683 impressions generated on Facebook during the month. In
addition, an awareness campaign on Doordarshan and Digital Cinema was also
carried out.Community radio was also involved to increase the reach of messaging of

Health and Family Welfare, programmes to address malnutrition inter alia include
promotion of appropriate Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices, Anaemia
Mukt Bharat, Iron and Folic Acid (IFA) supplementation, de-worming, promotion of
