A recent survey across 159 blocks in Jharkhand found that a large number of beneficiaries did not receive supplementary nutrition from January to June this year. The National Human Rights Commission has issued a notice to the Centre and state government in this regard.

Between January and June this year, only 31.7 per cent of families with under-3 malnourished children reported receiving additional ration or nutritional support in rural Jharkhand. In other words, nearly 70 per cent of under-3 malnourished kids in the state did not receive nutritional support for six months.

A survey by Right to Food Campaign, a non-profit fighting for hunger and food rights, also revealed that 45 per cent of children in the age group of 3 to 6 years did not receive supplementary nutrition during the first six months of this year.

Not only these kids, but 68 per cent of kids between six months and three years, and pregnant and lactating women did not receive take-home ration (THR) as part of their nutrition entitlements in the same period. On an average, 55 per cent of surveyed beneficiaries did not receive supplementary nutrition in the state.
