-Down to Earth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Almost 69.9 per cent of children under five years in Jharkhand are acutely suffering from anaemia &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Nine out of every ten children within the age-group of 6&amp;ndash;23 months in Bihar and Jharkhand do not get adequate diet, as the latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS 4, 2015-16) data highlights. In a series of startling revelations, the nutrition and health status of children in the two states are found to remain critically low in comparison to the national standard, even though the trend recorded some welcome improvement compared to that of the previous NFHS data published almost a decade ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only 7.5 per cent of children in Bihar and 7.2 per cent of children in Jharkhand within the age group of 6&amp;ndash;23 months receive adequate diet, whereas in states like Tamilnadu the situation is comparatively better as the figure stands at 31 per cent, according to the trend analysis done by CRY&amp;ndash;Child Rights and You, based on the latest NFHS findings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Undernutrition in children linked to poor maternal health&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Malnourishment in early years is directly linked to maternal health. Provision of quality antenatal care and addressing the issues of special nutritional requirement for expecting and lactating mothers also show worrying trends negatively impacting child health in the two states.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only 3.3 per cent of mothers in Bihar and 8 per cent of mothers in Jharkhand had access to full antenatal care services. Moreover, more than one-third of the total births in the two states continue to remain home births.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from health services, the issues also stem from behaviour and knowledge of the populace. The NFHS data on child feeding practices and nutritional status of children further suggest that almost two-third of children under the age of three years in these two states (65 per cent in Bihar and 67 per cent in Jharkhand) are not breastfed within the first hour of birth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Need for improving delivery mechanism for services pertaining to malnutrition&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Elaborating the retrogressive impact caused by poor nutritional status of children, Mohua Chatterjee, Programme Head, CRY (East) said, &amp;ldquo;Child malnutrition is an irreversible phenomenon in the lives of children. It transcends through the phase of adolescent and adult life. Overall, only a few of women in areas served by an Anganwadi centre receive food supplementation when they were pregnant and even fewer women receive food supplementation when they were lactating. Therefore, focus should be given on increasing investment and allocating better in the policies and schemes that are mandated to deliver services pertaining to malnutrition.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Having the newborns breastfed within the first hour of birth is another critical indicator in child nutrition. Colostrum (the first milk of the mother), extremely rich in nutrients and antibodies, is highly crucial for ensuring basic nutrition and immunisation they require at the very beginning of their life,&amp;quot; Chatterjee added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Micronutrient deficiency, too, continues to remain a challenge for children in this age group. As per the NFHS 4 findings, anaemia in children is found to have decreased across both the states, but still remains worryingly widespread. The analysis highlights that almost two-thirds of children (63.5 per cent in Bihar and 69.9 per cent in Jharkhand) within the age of 6 &amp;ndash; 59 months are acutely suffering from anaemia. Prevalence of anaemia among high percentage of pregnant women within the age-group of 15-49 years (62.6 per cent in Jharkhand and 58.3 per cent in Bihar) further indicates that juvenile anaemia is merely a manifestation of the malnutrition-cycle transmitted through generations, thus contributing to the &#039;age-old heritage of under-nutrition&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

-Down to Earth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Almost 69.9 per cent of children under five years in Jharkhand are acutely suffering from anaemia &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Nine out of every ten children within the age-group of 6&amp;ndash;23 months in Bihar and Jharkhand do not get adequate diet, as the latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS 4, 2015-16) data highlights. In a series of startling revelations, the nutrition and health status of children in the two states are found to remain critically low in comparison to the national standard, even though the trend recorded some welcome improvement compared to that of the previous NFHS data published almost a decade ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only 7.5 per cent of children in Bihar and 7.2 per cent of children in Jharkhand within the age group of 6&amp;ndash;23 months receive adequate diet, whereas in states like Tamilnadu the situation is comparatively better as the figure stands at 31 per cent, according to the trend analysis done by CRY&amp;ndash;Child Rights and You, based on the latest NFHS findings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Undernutrition in children linked to poor maternal health&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Malnourishment in early years is directly linked to maternal health. Provision of quality antenatal care and addressing the issues of special nutritional requirement for expecting and lactating mothers also show worrying trends negatively impacting child health in the two states.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only 3.3 per cent of mothers in Bihar and 8 per cent of mothers in Jharkhand had access to full antenatal care services. Moreover, more than one-third of the total births in the two states continue to remain home births.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from health services, the issues also stem from behaviour and knowledge of the populace. The NFHS data on child feeding practices and nutritional status of children further suggest that almost two-third of children under the age of three years in these two states (65 per cent in Bihar and 67 per cent in Jharkhand) are not breastfed within the first hour of birth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Need for improving delivery mechanism for services pertaining to malnutrition&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Elaborating the retrogressive impact caused by poor nutritional status of children, Mohua Chatterjee, Programme Head, CRY (East) said, &amp;ldquo;Child malnutrition is an irreversible phenomenon in the lives of children. It transcends through the phase of adolescent and adult life. Overall, only a few of women in areas served by an Anganwadi centre receive food supplementation when they were pregnant and even fewer women receive food supplementation when they were lactating. Therefore, focus should be given on increasing investment and allocating better in the policies and schemes that are mandated to deliver services pertaining to malnutrition.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Having the newborns breastfed within the first hour of birth is another critical indicator in child nutrition. Colostrum (the first milk of the mother), extremely rich in nutrients and antibodies, is highly crucial for ensuring basic nutrition and immunisation they require at the very beginning of their life,&amp;quot; Chatterjee added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Micronutrient deficiency, too, continues to remain a challenge for children in this age group. As per the NFHS 4 findings, anaemia in children is found to have decreased across both the states, but still remains worryingly widespread. The analysis highlights that almost two-thirds of children (63.5 per cent in Bihar and 69.9 per cent in Jharkhand) within the age of 6 &amp;ndash; 59 months are acutely suffering from anaemia. Prevalence of anaemia among high percentage of pregnant women within the age-group of 15-49 years (62.6 per cent in Jharkhand and 58.3 per cent in Bihar) further indicates that juvenile anaemia is merely a manifestation of the malnutrition-cycle transmitted through generations, thus contributing to the &#039;age-old heritage of under-nutrition&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

-Down to Earth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Almost 69.9 per cent of children under five years in Jharkhand are acutely suffering from anaemia &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Nine out of every ten children within the age-group of 6&amp;ndash;23 months in Bihar and Jharkhand do not get adequate diet, as the latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS 4, 2015-16) data highlights. In a series of startling revelations, the nutrition and health status of children in the two states are found to remain critically low in comparison to the national standard, even though the trend recorded some welcome improvement compared to that of the previous NFHS data published almost a decade ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only 7.5 per cent of children in Bihar and 7.2 per cent of children in Jharkhand within the age group of 6&amp;ndash;23 months receive adequate diet, whereas in states like Tamilnadu the situation is comparatively better as the figure stands at 31 per cent, according to the trend analysis done by CRY&amp;ndash;Child Rights and You, based on the latest NFHS findings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Undernutrition in children linked to poor maternal health&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Malnourishment in early years is directly linked to maternal health. Provision of quality antenatal care and addressing the issues of special nutritional requirement for expecting and lactating mothers also show worrying trends negatively impacting child health in the two states.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only 3.3 per cent of mothers in Bihar and 8 per cent of mothers in Jharkhand had access to full antenatal care services. Moreover, more than one-third of the total births in the two states continue to remain home births.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from health services, the issues also stem from behaviour and knowledge of the populace. The NFHS data on child feeding practices and nutritional status of children further suggest that almost two-third of children under the age of three years in these two states (65 per cent in Bihar and 67 per cent in Jharkhand) are not breastfed within the first hour of birth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Need for improving delivery mechanism for services pertaining to malnutrition&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Elaborating the retrogressive impact caused by poor nutritional status of children, Mohua Chatterjee, Programme Head, CRY (East) said, &amp;ldquo;Child malnutrition is an irreversible phenomenon in the lives of children. It transcends through the phase of adolescent and adult life. Overall, only a few of women in areas served by an Anganwadi centre receive food supplementation when they were pregnant and even fewer women receive food supplementation when they were lactating. Therefore, focus should be given on increasing investment and allocating better in the policies and schemes that are mandated to deliver services pertaining to malnutrition.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Having the newborns breastfed within the first hour of birth is another critical indicator in child nutrition. Colostrum (the first milk of the mother), extremely rich in nutrients and antibodies, is highly crucial for ensuring basic nutrition and immunisation they require at the very beginning of their life,&amp;quot; Chatterjee added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Micronutrient deficiency, too, continues to remain a challenge for children in this age group. As per the NFHS 4 findings, anaemia in children is found to have decreased across both the states, but still remains worryingly widespread. The analysis highlights that almost two-thirds of children (63.5 per cent in Bihar and 69.9 per cent in Jharkhand) within the age of 6 &amp;ndash; 59 months are acutely suffering from anaemia. Prevalence of anaemia among high percentage of pregnant women within the age-group of 15-49 years (62.6 per cent in Jharkhand and 58.3 per cent in Bihar) further indicates that juvenile anaemia is merely a manifestation of the malnutrition-cycle transmitted through generations, thus contributing to the &#039;age-old heritage of under-nutrition&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

-Down to Earth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Almost 69.9 per cent of children under five years in Jharkhand are acutely suffering from anaemia &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Nine out of every ten children within the age-group of 6&amp;ndash;23 months in Bihar and Jharkhand do not get adequate diet, as the latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS 4, 2015-16) data highlights. In a series of startling revelations, the nutrition and health status of children in the two states are found to remain critically low in comparison to the national standard, even though the trend recorded some welcome improvement compared to that of the previous NFHS data published almost a decade ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only 7.5 per cent of children in Bihar and 7.2 per cent of children in Jharkhand within the age group of 6&amp;ndash;23 months receive adequate diet, whereas in states like Tamilnadu the situation is comparatively better as the figure stands at 31 per cent, according to the trend analysis done by CRY&amp;ndash;Child Rights and You, based on the latest NFHS findings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Undernutrition in children linked to poor maternal health&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Malnourishment in early years is directly linked to maternal health. Provision of quality antenatal care and addressing the issues of special nutritional requirement for expecting and lactating mothers also show worrying trends negatively impacting child health in the two states.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only 3.3 per cent of mothers in Bihar and 8 per cent of mothers in Jharkhand had access to full antenatal care services. Moreover, more than one-third of the total births in the two states continue to remain home births.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from health services, the issues also stem from behaviour and knowledge of the populace. The NFHS data on child feeding practices and nutritional status of children further suggest that almost two-third of children under the age of three years in these two states (65 per cent in Bihar and 67 per cent in Jharkhand) are not breastfed within the first hour of birth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Need for improving delivery mechanism for services pertaining to malnutrition&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Elaborating the retrogressive impact caused by poor nutritional status of children, Mohua Chatterjee, Programme Head, CRY (East) said, &amp;ldquo;Child malnutrition is an irreversible phenomenon in the lives of children. It transcends through the phase of adolescent and adult life. Overall, only a few of women in areas served by an Anganwadi centre receive food supplementation when they were pregnant and even fewer women receive food supplementation when they were lactating. Therefore, focus should be given on increasing investment and allocating better in the policies and schemes that are mandated to deliver services pertaining to malnutrition.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Having the newborns breastfed within the first hour of birth is another critical indicator in child nutrition. Colostrum (the first milk of the mother), extremely rich in nutrients and antibodies, is highly crucial for ensuring basic nutrition and immunisation they require at the very beginning of their life,&amp;quot; Chatterjee added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Micronutrient deficiency, too, continues to remain a challenge for children in this age group. As per the NFHS 4 findings, anaemia in children is found to have decreased across both the states, but still remains worryingly widespread. The analysis highlights that almost two-thirds of children (63.5 per cent in Bihar and 69.9 per cent in Jharkhand) within the age of 6 &amp;ndash; 59 months are acutely suffering from anaemia. Prevalence of anaemia among high percentage of pregnant women within the age-group of 15-49 years (62.6 per cent in Jharkhand and 58.3 per cent in Bihar) further indicates that juvenile anaemia is merely a manifestation of the malnutrition-cycle transmitted through generations, thus contributing to the &#039;age-old heritage of under-nutrition&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

In a series of startling revelations, the nutrition and health status of children in the two states are found to remain critically low in comparison to the national standard, even though the trend recorded some welcome improvement compared to that of the previous NFHS data published almost a decade ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only 7.5 per cent of children in Bihar and 7.2 per cent of children in Jharkhand within the age group of 6&amp;ndash;23 months receive adequate diet, whereas in states like Tamilnadu the situation is comparatively better as the figure stands at 31 per cent, according to the trend analysis done by CRY&amp;ndash;Child Rights and You, based on the latest NFHS findings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Undernutrition in children linked to poor maternal health&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malnourishment in early years is directly linked to maternal health.

Moreover, more than one-third of the total births in the two states continue to remain home births.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from health services, the issues also stem from behaviour and knowledge of the populace. The NFHS data on child feeding practices and nutritional status of children further suggest that almost two-third of children under the age of three years in these two states (65 per cent in Bihar and 67 per cent in Jharkhand) are not breastfed within the first hour of birth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Need for improving delivery mechanism for services pertaining to malnutrition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elaborating the retrogressive impact caused by poor nutritional status of children, Mohua Chatterjee, Programme Head, CRY (East) said, &amp;ldquo;Child malnutrition is an irreversible phenomenon in the lives of children. It transcends through the phase of adolescent and adult life. Overall, only a few of women in areas served by an Anganwadi centre receive food supplementation when they were pregnant and even fewer women receive food supplementation when they were lactating. Therefore, focus should be given on increasing investment and allocating better in the policies and schemes that are mandated to deliver services pertaining to malnutrition.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Having the newborns breastfed within the first hour of birth is another critical indicator in child nutrition.

As per the NFHS 4 findings, anaemia in children is found to have decreased across both the states, but still remains worryingly widespread. The analysis highlights that almost two-thirds of children (63.5 per cent in Bihar and 69.9 per cent in Jharkhand) within the age of 6 &amp;ndash; 59 months are acutely suffering from anaemia. Prevalence of anaemia among high percentage of pregnant women within the age-group of 15-49 years (62.6 per cent in Jharkhand and 58.3 per cent in Bihar) further indicates that juvenile anaemia is merely a manifestation of the malnutrition-cycle transmitted through generations, thus contributing to the &#039;age-old heritage of under-nutrition&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/nine-in-every-10-children-do-not-get-adequate-diet-in-jharkhand-and-bihar-nfhs-data-57545&quot; title=&quot;http://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/nine-in-every-10-children-do-not-get-adequate-diet-in-jharkhand-and-bihar-nfhs-data-57545&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

<em>Almost 69.9 per cent of children under five years in Jharkhand are acutely suffering from anaemia <br />
</em><br />
Nine out of every ten children within the age-group of 6&ndash;23 months in Bihar and Jharkhand do not get adequate diet, as the latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS 4, 2015-16) data highlights. In a series of startling revelations, the nutrition and health status of children in the two states are found to remain critically low in comparison to the national standard, even though the trend recorded some welcome improvement compared to that of the previous NFHS data published almost a decade ago.<br />
<br />
Only 7.5 per cent of children in Bihar and 7.2 per cent of children in Jharkhand within the age group of 6&ndash;23 months receive adequate diet, whereas in states like Tamilnadu the situation is comparatively better as the figure stands at 31 per cent, according to the trend analysis done by CRY&ndash;Child Rights and You, based on the latest NFHS findings.<br />
<br />
<em>Undernutrition in children linked to poor maternal health<br />
</em><br />
Malnourishment in early years is directly linked to maternal health. Provision of quality antenatal care and addressing the issues of special nutritional requirement for expecting and lactating mothers also show worrying trends negatively impacting child health in the two states.<br />
<br />
Only 3.3 per cent of mothers in Bihar and 8 per cent of mothers in Jharkhand had access to full antenatal care services. Moreover, more than one-third of the total births in the two states continue to remain home births.<br />
<br />
Apart from health services, the issues also stem from behaviour and knowledge of the populace. The NFHS data on child feeding practices and nutritional status of children further suggest that almost two-third of children under the age of three years in these two states (65 per cent in Bihar and 67 per cent in Jharkhand) are not breastfed within the first hour of birth.<br />
<br />
<em>Need for improving delivery mechanism for services pertaining to malnutrition<br />
</em><br />
Elaborating the retrogressive impact caused by poor nutritional status of children, Mohua Chatterjee, Programme Head, CRY (East) said, &ldquo;Child malnutrition is an irreversible phenomenon in the lives of children. It transcends through the phase of adolescent and adult life. Overall, only a few of women in areas served by an Anganwadi centre receive food supplementation when they were pregnant and even fewer women receive food supplementation when they were lactating. Therefore, focus should be given on increasing investment and allocating better in the policies and schemes that are mandated to deliver services pertaining to malnutrition.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&quot;Having the newborns breastfed within the first hour of birth is another critical indicator in child nutrition. Colostrum (the first milk of the mother), extremely rich in nutrients and antibodies, is highly crucial for ensuring basic nutrition and immunisation they require at the very beginning of their life,&quot; Chatterjee added.<br />
<br />
Micronutrient deficiency, too, continues to remain a challenge for children in this age group. As per the NFHS 4 findings, anaemia in children is found to have decreased across both the states, but still remains worryingly widespread. The analysis highlights that almost two-thirds of children (63.5 per cent in Bihar and 69.9 per cent in Jharkhand) within the age of 6 &ndash; 59 months are acutely suffering from anaemia.

<em>Almost 69.9 per cent of children under five years in Jharkhand are acutely suffering from anaemia <br />
</em><br />
Nine out of every ten children within the age-group of 6&ndash;23 months in Bihar and Jharkhand do not get adequate diet, as the latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS 4, 2015-16) data highlights. In a series of startling revelations, the nutrition and health status of children in the two states are found to remain critically low in comparison to the national standard, even though the trend recorded some welcome improvement compared to that of the previous NFHS data published almost a decade ago.<br />
<br />
Only 7.5 per cent of children in Bihar and 7.2 per cent of children in Jharkhand within the age group of 6&ndash;23 months receive adequate diet, whereas in states like Tamilnadu the situation is comparatively better as the figure stands at 31 per cent, according to the trend analysis done by CRY&ndash;Child Rights and You, based on the latest NFHS findings.<br />
<br />
<em>Undernutrition in children linked to poor maternal health<br />
</em><br />
Malnourishment in early years is directly linked to maternal health. Provision of quality antenatal care and addressing the issues of special nutritional requirement for expecting and lactating mothers also show worrying trends negatively impacting child health in the two states.<br />
<br />
Only 3.3 per cent of mothers in Bihar and 8 per cent of mothers in Jharkhand had access to full antenatal care services. Moreover, more than one-third of the total births in the two states continue to remain home births.<br />
<br />
Apart from health services, the issues also stem from behaviour and knowledge of the populace. The NFHS data on child feeding practices and nutritional status of children further suggest that almost two-third of children under the age of three years in these two states (65 per cent in Bihar and 67 per cent in Jharkhand) are not breastfed within the first hour of birth.<br />
<br />
<em>Need for improving delivery mechanism for services pertaining to malnutrition<br />
</em><br />
Elaborating the retrogressive impact caused by poor nutritional status of children, Mohua Chatterjee, Programme Head, CRY (East) said, &ldquo;Child malnutrition is an irreversible phenomenon in the lives of children. It transcends through the phase of adolescent and adult life. Overall, only a few of women in areas served by an Anganwadi centre receive food supplementation when they were pregnant and even fewer women receive food supplementation when they were lactating. Therefore, focus should be given on increasing investment and allocating better in the policies and schemes that are mandated to deliver services pertaining to malnutrition.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&quot;Having the newborns breastfed within the first hour of birth is another critical indicator in child nutrition. Colostrum (the first milk of the mother), extremely rich in nutrients and antibodies, is highly crucial for ensuring basic nutrition and immunisation they require at the very beginning of their life,&quot; Chatterjee added.<br />
<br />
Micronutrient deficiency, too, continues to remain a challenge for children in this age group. As per the NFHS 4 findings, anaemia in children is found to have decreased across both the states, but still remains worryingly widespread. The analysis highlights that almost two-thirds of children (63.5 per cent in Bihar and 69.9 per cent in Jharkhand) within the age of 6 &ndash; 59 months are acutely suffering from anaemia.

Nine in every 10 children do not get adequate diet in Jharkhand, Bihar: NFHS data

-Down to Earth Almost 69.9 per cent of children under five years in Jharkhand are acutely suffering from anaemia Nine out of every ten children within the age-group of 6–23 months in Bihar and Jharkhand do not get adequate diet, as the latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS 4, 2015-16) data highlights.
