&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Expressing surprise on the absence of latest official data on malnutrition, a Parliamentary panel has asked the government to come up with a time-bound action plan to reduce under-nutrition and ensure real time flow of information for proper monitoring.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We are surprised to note that in this modern era of information technology, there is no recent official data on malnutrition. What is available is seven years old and outdated...National Family Health Survey III data of 2005-2006,&amp;quot; the panel said. The Committee on Estimates tabled its report titled &#039;Malnutrition and Infants in Mothers&#039; in Parliament this week, in which it highlighted the absence of latest data on child health.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Malnutrition has been recognised as a major threat to social and economic development and casts an adverse impact on children, adults, women and the entire workforce of the country,&amp;quot; the panel has said. It said the Ministry of Health should have reduced periodicity of NFHS, which earlier on used to be held at a gap of six years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;It is only now that the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has proposed to conduct NFHS IV and also decided to slash the periodicity of NFHS to three years,&amp;quot; the panel said. It also pulled up the government for not computerising anganwadi centres in villages and habitations connected by broadband and internet and ensure real time data flow for nutrition monitoring across India.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The panel said it was disappointed to note that the aim of the UPA&#039;s flagship National Rural Health Mission to bring down infant mortality rate to less than 30 per 1000 live births by 2011-12 has not yet been achieved.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The IMR remains high at 44 per 1000 live births as of October 2012, it said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Based on the available data, the committee has expressed concern that 59 per cent children under the age of five years are stunted and 3.3 per cent face severe wasting in the 100 focus districts which ranked the lowest on childhood development index in six states. These states are Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, during a speech in January last year, had described malnutrition as a &amp;quot;national shame&amp;quot;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;...the problem of malnutrition is a matter of national shame. Despite impressive growth in our GDP, the level of under-nutrition in the country is unacceptably high,&amp;quot; he had said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Quoting Secretary, Women and Child Development, which also addresses malnutrition under the Integrated Child Development Scheme, the committee said two in every five children in India roughly are still underweight and every second child is stunted.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;India is still faced with the daunting task of reducing under nutrition among children. Although there are indications of improvement in recent years from results of independent and state level surveys, ensuring better nutritional status for women and children remains an unfinished agenda,&amp;quot; Secretary, WCD Ministry had told the Committee on October 22, 2012. - PTI 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Hungry stomachs&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Expressing surprise on the absence of latest official data on malnutrition, a Parliamentary panel has asked the government to come up with a time-bound action plan to reduce under-nutrition and ensure real time flow of information for proper monitoring.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We are surprised to note that in this modern era of information technology, there is no recent official data on malnutrition. What is available is seven years old and outdated...National Family Health Survey III data of 2005-2006,&amp;quot; the panel said. The Committee on Estimates tabled its report titled &#039;Malnutrition and Infants in Mothers&#039; in Parliament this week, in which it highlighted the absence of latest data on child health.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Malnutrition has been recognised as a major threat to social and economic development and casts an adverse impact on children, adults, women and the entire workforce of the country,&amp;quot; the panel has said. It said the Ministry of Health should have reduced periodicity of NFHS, which earlier on used to be held at a gap of six years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;It is only now that the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has proposed to conduct NFHS IV and also decided to slash the periodicity of NFHS to three years,&amp;quot; the panel said. It also pulled up the government for not computerising anganwadi centres in villages and habitations connected by broadband and internet and ensure real time data flow for nutrition monitoring across India.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The panel said it was disappointed to note that the aim of the UPA&#039;s flagship National Rural Health Mission to bring down infant mortality rate to less than 30 per 1000 live births by 2011-12 has not yet been achieved.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The IMR remains high at 44 per 1000 live births as of October 2012, it said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Based on the available data, the committee has expressed concern that 59 per cent children under the age of five years are stunted and 3.3 per cent face severe wasting in the 100 focus districts which ranked the lowest on childhood development index in six states. These states are Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, during a speech in January last year, had described malnutrition as a &amp;quot;national shame&amp;quot;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;...the problem of malnutrition is a matter of national shame. Despite impressive growth in our GDP, the level of under-nutrition in the country is unacceptably high,&amp;quot; he had said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Quoting Secretary, Women and Child Development, which also addresses malnutrition under the Integrated Child Development Scheme, the committee said two in every five children in India roughly are still underweight and every second child is stunted.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;India is still faced with the daunting task of reducing under nutrition among children. Although there are indications of improvement in recent years from results of independent and state level surveys, ensuring better nutritional status for women and children remains an unfinished agenda,&amp;quot; Secretary, WCD Ministry had told the Committee on October 22, 2012. - PTI

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Expressing surprise on the absence of latest official data on malnutrition, a Parliamentary panel has asked the government to come up with a time-bound action plan to reduce under-nutrition and ensure real time flow of information for proper monitoring.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We are surprised to note that in this modern era of information technology, there is no recent official data on malnutrition. What is available is seven years old and outdated...National Family Health Survey III data of 2005-2006,&amp;quot; the panel said. The Committee on Estimates tabled its report titled &#039;Malnutrition and Infants in Mothers&#039; in Parliament this week, in which it highlighted the absence of latest data on child health.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Malnutrition has been recognised as a major threat to social and economic development and casts an adverse impact on children, adults, women and the entire workforce of the country,&amp;quot; the panel has said. It said the Ministry of Health should have reduced periodicity of NFHS, which earlier on used to be held at a gap of six years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;It is only now that the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has proposed to conduct NFHS IV and also decided to slash the periodicity of NFHS to three years,&amp;quot; the panel said. It also pulled up the government for not computerising anganwadi centres in villages and habitations connected by broadband and internet and ensure real time data flow for nutrition monitoring across India.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The panel said it was disappointed to note that the aim of the UPA&#039;s flagship National Rural Health Mission to bring down infant mortality rate to less than 30 per 1000 live births by 2011-12 has not yet been achieved.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The IMR remains high at 44 per 1000 live births as of October 2012, it said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Based on the available data, the committee has expressed concern that 59 per cent children under the age of five years are stunted and 3.3 per cent face severe wasting in the 100 focus districts which ranked the lowest on childhood development index in six states. These states are Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, during a speech in January last year, had described malnutrition as a &amp;quot;national shame&amp;quot;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;...the problem of malnutrition is a matter of national shame. Despite impressive growth in our GDP, the level of under-nutrition in the country is unacceptably high,&amp;quot; he had said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Quoting Secretary, Women and Child Development, which also addresses malnutrition under the Integrated Child Development Scheme, the committee said two in every five children in India roughly are still underweight and every second child is stunted.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;India is still faced with the daunting task of reducing under nutrition among children. Although there are indications of improvement in recent years from results of independent and state level surveys, ensuring better nutritional status for women and children remains an unfinished agenda,&amp;quot; Secretary, WCD Ministry had told the Committee on October 22, 2012. - PTI

&lt;em&gt;Hungry stomachs&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;    &lt;/em&gt;The Committee on Estimates tabled its report titled &#039;Malnutrition and Infants in Mothers&#039; in Parliament this week, in which it highlighted the absence of the latest data on child health&lt;br /&gt;
    Malnutrition has been recognised as a major threat to social and economic development and casts an adverse impact on children, adults, women and the entire workforce of the country, the panel said&lt;br /&gt;
    It said the Ministry of Health should have reduced periodicity of the National Family Health Survey, which earlier on used to be held at a gap of six years, much earlier

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Expressing surprise on the absence of latest official data on malnutrition, a Parliamentary panel has asked the government to come up with a time-bound action plan to reduce under-nutrition and ensure real time flow of information for proper monitoring.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;We are surprised to note that in this modern era of information technology, there is no recent official data on malnutrition. What is available is seven years old and outdated...National Family Health Survey III data of 2005-2006,&amp;quot; the panel said. The Committee on Estimates tabled its report titled &#039;Malnutrition and Infants in Mothers&#039; in Parliament this week, in which it highlighted the absence of latest data on child health.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Malnutrition has been recognised as a major threat to social and economic development and casts an adverse impact on children, adults, women and the entire workforce of the country,&amp;quot; the panel has said. It said the Ministry of Health should have reduced periodicity of NFHS, which earlier on used to be held at a gap of six years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;It is only now that the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has proposed to conduct NFHS IV and also decided to slash the periodicity of NFHS to three years,&amp;quot; the panel said. It also pulled up the government for not computerising anganwadi centres in villages and habitations connected by broadband and internet and ensure real time data flow for nutrition monitoring across India.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The panel said it was disappointed to note that the aim of the UPA&#039;s flagship National Rural Health Mission to bring down infant mortality rate to less than 30 per 1000 live births by 2011-12 has not yet been achieved.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The IMR remains high at 44 per 1000 live births as of October 2012, it said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Based on the available data, the committee has expressed concern that 59 per cent children under the age of five years are stunted and 3.3 per cent face severe wasting in the 100 focus districts which ranked the lowest on childhood development index in six states. These states are Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, during a speech in January last year, had described malnutrition as a &amp;quot;national shame&amp;quot;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;...the problem of malnutrition is a matter of national shame. Despite impressive growth in our GDP, the level of under-nutrition in the country is unacceptably high,&amp;quot; he had said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Quoting Secretary, Women and Child Development, which also addresses malnutrition under the Integrated Child Development Scheme, the committee said two in every five children in India roughly are still underweight and every second child is stunted.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;India is still faced with the daunting task of reducing under nutrition among children. Although there are indications of improvement in recent years from results of independent and state level surveys, ensuring better nutritional status for women and children remains an unfinished agenda,&amp;quot; Secretary, WCD Ministry had told the Committee on October 22, 2012. - PTI 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Hungry stomachs&lt;/em&gt;

Expressing surprise on the absence of latest official data on malnutrition, a Parliamentary panel has asked the government to come up with a time-bound action plan to reduce under-nutrition and ensure real time flow of information for proper monitoring.
</p>
<p align="justify">
&quot;We are surprised to note that in this modern era of information technology, there is no recent official data on malnutrition. What is available is seven years old and outdated...National Family Health Survey III data of 2005-2006,&quot; the panel said. The Committee on Estimates tabled its report titled 'Malnutrition and Infants in Mothers' in Parliament this week, in which it highlighted the absence of latest data on child health.
</p>
<p align="justify">
&quot;Malnutrition has been recognised as a major threat to social and economic development and casts an adverse impact on children, adults, women and the entire workforce of the country,&quot; the panel has said. It said the Ministry of Health should have reduced periodicity of NFHS, which earlier on used to be held at a gap of six years.
</p>
<p align="justify">
&quot;It is only now that the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has proposed to conduct NFHS IV and also decided to slash the periodicity of NFHS to three years,&quot; the panel said. It also pulled up the government for not computerising anganwadi centres in villages and habitations connected by broadband and internet and ensure real time data flow for nutrition monitoring across India.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The panel said it was disappointed to note that the aim of the UPA's flagship National Rural Health Mission to bring down infant mortality rate to less than 30 per 1000 live births by 2011-12 has not yet been achieved.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The IMR remains high at 44 per 1000 live births as of October 2012, it said.
</p>
<p align="justify">
Based on the available data, the committee has expressed concern that 59 per cent children under the age of five years are stunted and 3.3 per cent face severe wasting in the 100 focus districts which ranked the lowest on childhood development index in six states. These states are Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, during a speech in January last year, had described malnutrition as a &quot;national shame&quot;.

Panel pulls up govt for ‘outdated’ malnutrition data

-PTI Expressing surprise on the absence of latest official data on malnutrition, a Parliamentary panel has asked the government to come up with a time-bound action plan to reduce under-nutrition and ensure real time flow of information for proper monitoring. "We are surprised to note that in this modern era of information technology, there is no recent official data on malnutrition. What is available is seven years old and outdated...National Family Health Survey III data of 2005-2006," the panel said. The Committee on Estimates tabled its report titled 'Malnutrition and Infants in Mothers' in Parliament this week, in which it highlighted the absence of latest data on child health. "Malnutrition has been recognised as a major threat to social and economic development and casts an adverse impact on children, adults, women and the entire workforce of the country," the panel has said. It said the Ministry of Health should have reduced periodicity of NFHS, which earlier on used to be held at a gap of six years. "It is only now that the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has proposed to conduct NFHS IV and also decided to slash the periodicity of NFHS to three years," the panel said. It also pulled up the government for not computerising anganwadi centres in villages and habitations connected by broadband and internet and ensure real time data flow for nutrition monitoring across India. The panel said it was disappointed to note that the aim of the UPA's flagship National Rural Health Mission to bring down infant mortality rate to less than 30 per 1000 live births by 2011-12 has not yet been achieved. The IMR remains high at 44 per 1000 live births as of October 2012, it said. Based on the available data, the committee has expressed concern that 59 per cent children under the age of five years are stunted and 3.3 per cent face severe wasting in the 100 focus districts which ranked the lowest on childhood development index in six states. These states are Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, during a speech in January last year, had described malnutrition as a "national shame". "...the problem of malnutrition is a matter of national shame. Despite impressive growth in our GDP, the level of under-nutrition in the country is unacceptably high," he had said. Quoting Secretary, Women and Child Development, which also addresses malnutrition under the Integrated Child Development Scheme, the committee said two in every five children in India roughly are still underweight and every second child is stunted. "India is still faced with the daunting task of reducing under nutrition among children. Although there are indications of improvement in recent years from results of independent and state level surveys, ensuring better nutritional status for women and children remains an unfinished agenda," Secretary, WCD Ministry had told the Committee on October 22, 2012. - PTI Hungry stomachs The Committee on Estimates tabled its report titled 'Malnutrition and Infants in Mothers' in Parliament this week, in which it highlighted the absence of the latest data on child health Malnutrition has been recognised as a major threat to social and economic development and casts an adverse impact on children, adults, women and the entire workforce of the country, the panel said It said the Ministry of Health should have reduced periodicity of the National Family Health Survey, which earlier on used to be held at a gap of six years, much earlier
