1/3 of the world's stunted children are in India.

Our government and it’s ministers are boasting that India is the fastest growing economy in the world. However, a vast section of the Indian people continue to reel under poverty, hunger, unemployment, etc., etc. Report after report are saying that crores of Indian children are malnutritioned and are stunted (children not with the normal height for their age). Once again The New Global Nutrition Report 2018 has stated that 46.6 million stunted children are living in India. This is 1/3 of the population of stunted children in the world.
