Majority of the experts, based on prima facie evidence, just highlighted the deteriorating sign of child health in terms of increase in proportion of stunted and underweight children in most of the phase-I states/UTs over last two rounds of NFHS (2015-16 to 2019-20). Several authors concluded that the poorer child health outcomes during last five years are either due to economic slowdown, deteriorating public health care systems, or due to adverse effects of poverty, unemployment and the economic shocks India experienced.
