Nearly two among every 10 infants or toddlers in India face the risk of not receiving any food whatsoever for a full day, according to a study that has also revealed virtually no change in this measure of food deprivation since 2016.

The study has found that the proportion of sampled children between six months and 23 months who hadn’t eaten any food with substantial calorific content for at least an entire day increased from 17.2 per cent in 2016 to 17.8 per cent in 2021.

Researchers who extracted data from the Union health ministry’s nationwide family health surveys say they have generated India’s first estimates for the prevalence of “zero-food” children that underline the need to redesign food policies to reach some of the most vulnerable households.

“The data contained something unusual and unexpected — we don’t expect young children between six months and 23 months to go entirely unfed for a whole 24 hours,” said S.V. Subramanian, a professor of population health at the Harvard School of Public Health, who led the study.
