&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;India&#039;s improved ranking in the Global Hunger Index is good news, but the country still has a long way to go as one-third of its women and children under five still underweight, experts said Wednesday.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
India improved its position from 63rd in 2013 to 55th in 2014 in the Global Hunger Index released recently.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;India has clearly made progress towards improving nutrition, but the road ahead is still long,&amp;quot; said Purnima Menon, Senior Research Fellow at IFPRI and co-director of POSHAN.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The evidence - from within India and from other countries - tells us that gains in maternal and child nutrition come from actions in several sectors and that leadership must also come from all levels,&amp;quot; she said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The data released by the government which was used in computing Global Hunger Index has shown a decline in under-nutrition. It has dramatically improved India&#039;s rank,&amp;quot; she said while briefing the media about a conference on under-nutrition being held here.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The two-day conference is being jointly hosted by Transform Nutrition and POSHAN (Partnerships and Opportunities to Strengthen and Harmonize Actions for Nutrition in India), both initiatives led by IFPRI.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Pramod Kumar Joshi of the IFPRI said focus now needed to be put on how to effectively implement the national food security act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;How it can be revised. We are also looking at various options like Public Distribution System and direct cash transfer.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Lawrence Haddad, who has worked extensively to improve the nutrition situation in Maharashtra, said in that state, there were still issues like open defecation, which were affecting overall health.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The decline in under-nutrition rates did not happen overnight. It took a lot of time around 10-15 years,&amp;quot; he said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Stuart Gillespie, senior research fellow at IFPRI and CEO of Transform Nutrition said: &amp;quot;Leadership has been absolutely pivotal. Inadequate capacity is the reason for failure&amp;quot;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;India is unusual in that even the delivery of nutrition-specific interventions requires two ministries. The health ministry and the women and child development ministry have to work together,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Shenggen Fan, Director IFPRI, listed three ways to deal with nutrition issues in India namely -- improving agriculture, social protection and specific interventions like sanitation.

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
India improved its position from 63rd in 2013 to 55th in 2014 in the Global Hunger Index released recently.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;India has clearly made progress towards improving nutrition, but the road ahead is still long,&amp;quot; said Purnima Menon, Senior Research Fellow at IFPRI and co-director of POSHAN.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The evidence - from within India and from other countries - tells us that gains in maternal and child nutrition come from actions in several sectors and that leadership must also come from all levels,&amp;quot; she said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The data released by the government which was used in computing Global Hunger Index has shown a decline in under-nutrition. It has dramatically improved India&#039;s rank,&amp;quot; she said while briefing the media about a conference on under-nutrition being held here.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The two-day conference is being jointly hosted by Transform Nutrition and POSHAN (Partnerships and Opportunities to Strengthen and Harmonize Actions for Nutrition in India), both initiatives led by IFPRI.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Pramod Kumar Joshi of the IFPRI said focus now needed to be put on how to effectively implement the national food security act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;How it can be revised. We are also looking at various options like Public Distribution System and direct cash transfer.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Lawrence Haddad, who has worked extensively to improve the nutrition situation in Maharashtra, said in that state, there were still issues like open defecation, which were affecting overall health.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The decline in under-nutrition rates did not happen overnight. It took a lot of time around 10-15 years,&amp;quot; he said.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;India&#039;s improved ranking in the Global Hunger Index is good news, but the country still has a long way to go as one-third of its women and children under five still underweight, experts said Wednesday.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
India improved its position from 63rd in 2013 to 55th in 2014 in the Global Hunger Index released recently.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;India has clearly made progress towards improving nutrition, but the road ahead is still long,&amp;quot; said Purnima Menon, Senior Research Fellow at IFPRI and co-director of POSHAN.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The evidence - from within India and from other countries - tells us that gains in maternal and child nutrition come from actions in several sectors and that leadership must also come from all levels,&amp;quot; she said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The data released by the government which was used in computing Global Hunger Index has shown a decline in under-nutrition. It has dramatically improved India&#039;s rank,&amp;quot; she said while briefing the media about a conference on under-nutrition being held here.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The two-day conference is being jointly hosted by Transform Nutrition and POSHAN (Partnerships and Opportunities to Strengthen and Harmonize Actions for Nutrition in India), both initiatives led by IFPRI.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Pramod Kumar Joshi of the IFPRI said focus now needed to be put on how to effectively implement the national food security act.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;How it can be revised. We are also looking at various options like Public Distribution System and direct cash transfer.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Lawrence Haddad, who has worked extensively to improve the nutrition situation in Maharashtra, said in that state, there were still issues like open defecation, which were affecting overall health.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The decline in under-nutrition rates did not happen overnight. It took a lot of time around 10-15 years,&amp;quot; he said.
