- *****

Statement referred to in reply to Part (a) to (c) of Lok Sabha Starred Question No. 426 by Shri Ramdas C. Tadasto be answered on 01.04.2022 regarding ' New Norms on Malnutrition '.

(a) to (b)There is no new criteria recommended by WHO on malnutrition.  The new Child Growth Standards to identify malnutrition in children were released by WHO in 2006. These Standards have been adopted by Government of India w.e.f. 15.8.2008 following  the  recommendations  of  the  National Workshop  on  the  Adoption  of  new WHO Child Growth Standards,  organized  jointly,  by  Ministry  of Women  and  Child Development and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, with WHO and UNICEF collaboration on 8-9th February, 2007 at New Delhi. Based  on  the  new  criteria  for  growth  standards,  the  growth  charts  were  revised under  the  ICDS  programme  and  the  Anganwadi  Workers  (AWWs)  and  ICDS functionaries were oriented/trained on the new growth charts/standards. The revised growth charts were shared across states to replace the existing Growth Monitoring registers.  Thereafter,  these  have  been  in  use  to  assess  the  nutritional  status  of children  under  5  years  of  age.  Correct  assessment  of  underweight  children  is beneficial for timely interventions which in turn will help in improving the nutritional status.    As  per  the National  Family  Health  Survey  (NFHS)-V, the  percentage  of malnourished and severely malnourished children under 5 years of age is 19.3% and 7.7% respectively.

(c) These  new  standards  were  different  from  the  previous  standards  in  the following ways,

-  The new Standards are based on SD (Standard Deviation) Internationally accepted classification
-  New Standards are gender specific while old standards are unisex.
-  Further, the WHO Child Growth Standards are based on the growth of breastfed  children  (which  is  the  norm  for  healthy  growth)  All  children grow equally given the right Infant and Young child feeding, appropriate feeding practices, health and nutrition inputs & environment.

Further, to enable the candidates from State Boards and rural areas to understand the questions properly, the Question Paper for NEET (UG) 2021 was set in different languages.
