How To Improve Food Security And Nutritional Outcomes
Food security and nutrition in India have worsened since the last NFHS round with 18 states showing worsened stunting levels among children under five.
The findings of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) (IIPS, 2019-20) have come as a reality check, and even experts are trying to make sense of it.

Among the 22 states and Union Territories (UTs) for whom the data was released, 18 show either stagnation or worsening of stunting (height-for-age) levels among children less than five years.
