&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* On August 5, Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya provided data of the state-wise prevalence of anaemia among children aged six months to five years.&lt;br /&gt;
* Based on NFHS-5 data, the current prevalence of anaemia among these children is nine percentage points higher compared to NFHS-4 data.&lt;br /&gt;
* A prevalence of anaemia of 40% or more warrants serious concern because persistent anaemia can hinder cognitive development, slow growth and increase infection-related morbidity.&lt;br /&gt;
* The number of antenatal check-ups, level of folic-acid supplementation and relevant measures of other nutritional supplementation programmes have increased.&lt;br /&gt;
* Against this background, India&amp;rsquo;s worsening anaemia problem warrants a serious relook of the problem&amp;rsquo;s aetiology.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Anaemia in children and women of reproductive age has been a persistent public health problem in India. On August 5, in &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Anaemia.pdf&quot;&gt;reply to a question&lt;/a&gt; in the Lok Sabha, Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya provided data of the state-wise prevalence of anaemia among children aged six months to five years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the minister, based on data from the fifth National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019-20), the current prevalence of anaemia among these &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/Anaemia.pdf&quot;&gt;children is 67.1%&lt;/a&gt; &amp;ndash; an increase of more than nine percentage points compared to the figure in NFHS-4.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Although the national average indicates that two of three children in India are anaemic, the problem is worse in a few states. The government has been implementing programmes like Anaemia Mukt Bharat (AMB), Poshan Abhiyan and the midday meal scheme through various ministries to address malnutrition among children, adolescents and women of reproductive age. The Ministry of Women and Child Development operates the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), started in 1975, to improve nutrition and the health of children in India.&lt;/p&gt;

Why Does Anaemia Remain an Unsolved Problem in India? -Pankaj Kumar Mishra and Harinder Happy

-TheWire.in * On August 5, Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya provided data of the state-wise prevalence of anaemia among children aged six months to five years. * Based on NFHS-5 data, the current prevalence of anaemia among these children is nine percentage points higher compared to NFHS-4 data. * A prevalence of anaemia of 40% or more warrants serious concern because persistent anaemia can hinder cognitive development, slow growth and increase infection-related morbidity. * The number of antenatal check-ups, level of folic-acid supplementation and relevant measures of other nutritional supplementation programmes have increased. * Against this background, India’s worsening anaemia problem warrants a serious relook of the problem’s aetiology. Anaemia in children and women of reproductive age has been a persistent public health problem in India. On August 5, in reply to a question in the Lok Sabha, Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya provided data of the state-wise prevalence of anaemia among children aged six months to five years. According to the minister, based on data from the fifth National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019-20), the current prevalence of anaemia among these children is 67.1% – an increase of more than nine percentage points compared to the figure in NFHS-4. Although the national average indicates that two of three children in India are anaemic, the problem is worse in a few states. The government has been implementing programmes like Anaemia Mukt Bharat (AMB), Poshan Abhiyan and the midday meal scheme through various ministries to address malnutrition among children, adolescents and women of reproductive age. The Ministry of Women and Child Development operates the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), started in 1975, to improve nutrition and the health of children in India.
