Assessing the progress made in reducing under-nutrition among children who are less than two years old in Maharashtra between 2005-06 and 2012, this article points out that child under-nutrition, especially stunting, declined significantly in the state during this period. It holds that this decline can be associated with the interventions initiated through the Rajmata Jijau Mother-Child Health and Nutrition Mission, which began in 2005, and that this indicates the critical role the state can play in reducing child under-nutrition in India.

Sunny Jose (sunnyjoz@gmail.com) teaches at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Hyderabad; K S Hari (harineelamana@gmail.com) is at the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Pune.

We thank Fred Arnold for clarifi cations and help in estimation.
