Affluent states like Gujarat are failing to ensure their poorer children have a decent diet and that the richer ones are protected from lifestyle diseases

India’s healthiest children live in its north-eastern states and Kerala, an analysis of a new national survey conducted by the government shows, but children in these states are also at greater risk of ‘lifestyle diseases’. However, some of the most affluent states - particularly Gujarat, Maharashtra and Haryana - perform the worst on both sides of the spectrum; Gujarat is the country’s unhealthiest state for children.

Released earlier this month, the Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey (CNNS) collected primary information on the medical health and allied behaviours from over 1.12 lakh children between the ages of 0 and 19 across 30 states. The CNNS expands on the data covered by key past health surveys, including the National Family Health Survey, to give a more rounded and more detailed look into the health and lives of India’s children. It includes an expanded range of anthropometric measures to comprehensively capture malnutrition and previously unstudied micronutrient deficiencies.
