## Statement referred to in reply to Part (a) to (d) of Lok Sabha Starred Question No.342 by  Shri  Saptagiri  Sankar  Ulaka  to  be  answered  on  24.03.2023  regarding  'Children Suffering from Malnutrition'

(a) to (b) For estimating the number of underweight, malnourished and severely malnourished children under 5 years of age in the country a nationwide periodic survey is conducted by Ministry of Health & Family Welfare which is known as the National Family Health Survey (NFHS). The recently released report of NFHS-5 (2019-21) has reflected a decline in key nutrition indicators as compared to NFHS-4 (2015-16). As per the recent report of NFHS-5 (2019-21), the nutrition indicators for children under 5 years have improved as compared with NFHS-4 (2015-16). Wasting has improved from 21% (NFHS-4) to 19.3 % (NFHS-5), Under nutrition has improved from 35.7% (NFHS-4) to 32.1% (NFHS-5) and stunting has improved from 38.4%(NFHS-4) to 35.5% (NFHS-5).

Further,  under  Poshan  Tracker,  the  ICT  application  for  monitoring  service  delivery  under Mission  Poshan  2.0,  out  of  approximately  5.6  crore  children  measured  in  the  month  of February 2023, the percentage of malnourished children (moderate and severe) is 7.7%.

(c)     to  (d) Government  has  accorded  high  priority  to  the  issue  of  malnutrition  and  is implementing several schemes through States/UTs to address challenges related to under nutrition  and  malnutrition.  This  Ministry  is  implementing  POSHAN  Abhiyaan,  Anganwadi Services Scheme, Supplementary Nutrition Programme under Anganwadi Services Scheme and Scheme for Adolescent Girls as direct targeted interventions to address the problem of malnutrition  in  the  country.  As  a  result  of  concerted  efforts,  the  level  of  malnutrition  has reduced in the country as is evident from the report of National Family Health Survey (NFHS) - 5 conducted in 2019-21.

The State/UT wise details of funds allocated/released and utilized during the last three years and the current year under these schemes is at Annexure I, II, III.

The schemes have been rolled out in all 36 States/UTs of the country. The efforts under the Supplementary  Nutrition  Programme  under  Anganwadi  Services,  Supplementary  Nutrition Programme,  revised  Scheme  for  Adolescent  Girls  and  POSHAN  Abhiyaan  have  been rejuvenated and converged as 'Saksham Anganwadi and POSHAN 2.0 (Mission Poshan 2.0). There are 7074 sanctioned projects under Mission Poshan 2.0 with 13.9 lakh Anganwadi Centres  across  the  country.  9.94  crore  beneficiaries,  namely,  pregnant  women,  lactating mothers and children under the age of 6 years, are registered for Anganwadi Services on the ICT application, Poshan Tracker, as on date, out of whom 91% are Aadhar-verified.

Under Saksham Anganwadi, 2 lakh selected Government- owned AWCs @ 40,000 AWCs per year would be strengthened, upgraded and rejuvenated for improved nutrition delivery. In the FY 2022-23, close to 40,000 Anganwadi Centres in Aspirational Districts have been identified to be made into Saksham Anganwadis, which will be enhanced with LED screens, Wi-fi, smart -visual teaching aids, Poshan Vatikas, Rainwater harvesting structures etc.

Further, Under Wheat Based Nutrition Programme (WBNP), more emphasis is being given on the  supply  of  millets  for  preparation  of  Hot  Cooked  Meal  and  Take  Home  rations  at Anganwadis for Pregnant Women, Lactating mothers and children below 6 years of age, as millets are  known to have high nutrient content which includes protein, essential fatty acid, dietary  fibre,  B-Vitamins,  minerals  such  as  calcium,  iron,  zinc,  folic  acid  and  other  micronutrients thus helping to tackle anemia and other micro-nutrient deficiencies common among women and children. As per the Scheme Guidelines issued for Mission Saksham Anganwadi & Poshan 2.0, millets need to be mandatorily supplied at least once a week and suitably integrated in Take Home Ration (not raw ration) and Hot Cooked Meal in a palatable form. Further, to address the challenge of malnutrition arising due to micro-nutrient deficiency, only fortified rice is being allocated to States/UTs.In FY 2022-23, 1226115 MTs of fortified rice have been allocated to States/UTs.

Best  Practices  on  use  of  millets  and  improvement  in  SAM  children  were  recognized  and selected for the PM's Award for Excellence for promotion of Jan Bhagidari in Poshan Abhiyaan on 21st April 2022. These best practices were shared with all States/UTs. These included Mission Sampurna Poshan in Asifabad, Telangana, Mera Bachccha Abhiyaan Model in Datia, Madhya Pradesh and Project Sampoorna in Bongaigaon, Assam.

Under POSHAN Abhiyaan, for the first time, the Anganwadi worker was empowered with mobile devices. Anganwadi workers have been provided with close to 11 lakh smart phones. Besides, to promote regular growth monitoring, 12.53 lakh Growth Monitoring Devices, such as Infantometer, Stadiometer, Weighing Scale for Mother and Infant, Weighing Scale for Child, have  been  procured  by  States/UTs  under  the  Abhiyaan.  Under  key  component  of  Jan Andolan, total five (5) Poshan Maahs and four (4) Poshan Pakhwadas have been held across the country since 2018, which have witnessed more than 60 crore activities.

For the first time, Migration facility for pregnant women and lactating mothers from one AWC to another within and outside a State has been facilitated under the ICT application, Poshan Tracker. A national Poshan Helpline has been made available for beneficiaries and public . Through the help line a beneficiary can raise a concern about the services offered under Mission Poshan 2.0.

Further,  adopting  a  life-cycle  approach  to  tackle  malnutrition  under  Mission  Poshan  2.0, Scheme for Adolescent Girls has been revised to target adolescent girls in the age bracket of 14-18 years in North Eastern States and Aspirational districts. Close to 18.89 lakh Adolescent Girls have been registered on Poshan Tracker from aspirational districts and North Eastern States.

Mission Poshan 2.0 is designed to address the issue of malnutrition through transparency, accountability, balanced diets, diet diversity and quality, greater grassroots involvement and last-mile delivery of services supported by key strategies, viz., corrective strategies to address nutrition related deficiencies, nutrition awareness strategies to develop good eating habits for sustainable health and well-being, strategies for communication and development of green eco-systems such as Poshan Vatikas at or near Anganwadi Centres, wherever possible and in Government led schools and Gram Panchayat lands where benefits can easily be given to women and children. Under Poshan 2.0, focus is on diet diversity, food fortification, leveraging traditional  systems  of  knowledge  and  popularizing  use  of  millets.  Nutrition  awareness strategies  under  Poshan  2.0  aim  to  develop  sustainable  health  and  well-being  through regional meal plans to bridge dietary gaps.
