The recent report by the Child development Index has revealed that India is considered one of the worst places for a child to grow up in, with hunger and malnutrition at its worst in the country.

Nearly 40% of India’s children are moderately or severely underweight, compared to the statistics in China.
The report also said that ever since liberalization, inequality has actually grown in India at a faster rate than the neighboring countries. What we need is change in policies which will suitably address child malnourishment and mortality.
