Basic causes
MALNUTRITION is defined as the insufficient or imbalanced
consumption of nutrients. Several different nutrition disorder may
develop depending on which nutrients are lacking.
Malnutrition is Faulty nutrition
resulting from
• malabsorption
• Poor diet or over eating
Inadequate
access to food
 43% of Indian children under five years are underweight and 48 % (i.e. 61
million children) are stunted due to chronic under nutrition, India accounts
for more than 3 out of every 10 stunted children in the world.
 The percentage of children who are severely underweight is almost 5 times
higher among children whose mothers have no education than among
children whose mothers have 12 or more years of schooling.
 Under nutrition is more common for children of mothers who are
undernourished themselves (i.e. body mass index below 18.5) than for
children whose mothers are not undernourished.
 India has the highest number of low birth weight babies per year at an
estimated 7.4 million.
 Vitamin and mineral deficiency are highly prevalent throughout the country.
More than one third of the world’s children who are wasted live in India.

3. ILLITERACY SPECIALLY IN WOMEN
POOR ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES
LACK OF AVAILABILITY OF SAFE DRINKING
WATER
POOR SANITATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS AND LOW PURCHASING POWER ETC.
EARLY MARRIAGES OF GIRLS
TEENAGE PREGNANCIES RESULTING IN LOW
BIRTH WEIGHT OF THE NEWBORNS
POOR BREAST FEEDING PRACTICES
POOR COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING PRACTICES
IGNORANCE ABOUT NUTRITIONAL NEEDS OF
INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN .
CAUSES OF THE PROBLEM
INDIA AT THE ALARMING STAGE
 The world bank estimates that India is ranked 2nd in the world of
the number of children suffering from malnutrition. We have them
living around us, in our neighbourhood.
 UN estimates that 2.1 million Indian children die before reaching
age of 5 every year.
 Every second a child falls into the hands of malnutrition
 And for every 5 seconds a child dies.
Reason for selecting specific cause:
The first and foremost cause of
malnutrition is the illiteracy and lack of awareness
especially in women
Teen pregnancy and poor breastfeeding
practices results in low birth weight(BMI) and defects
in child. So our solution is to eradicate malnutrition
at the initial stage itself(pregnant women). Also we
provide measures to enrich the child growth at
school level.

4. MOTHER’S
HOME
INTRODUCING
MORNING MEAL
SCHEME
 A census of pregnant women is taken in all the region and a “mother’s home”
is built up in dense populated area.

given to them (2 hrs /day) and given a stipend monthly in order to eradicate
poverty.
 Breast feeding awareness and complementary food instructions are given
primarily.
 Among the 3 course of meal we take, breakfast seems to provide the most
effective form of energy
 Providing Breakfast in primary government schools will enrich the growth of
the children.

MORNING MEAL SCHEME:
Breakfast-as the name indicates is about breaking the 12 hour fasting.
Poor children get to school because of mid day meal scheme. But that one should under that Breakfast provides
ultimate nutrition content, controls cholesterol level, improves concentration, terminates ulcer and also other
vitamin deficiencies..

6. EXISTING
ALTERNATIVE
Money scheme fails because of usage of money in
any other way
Food items provided by the government at present
is not at good quality, poor infrastructure in kitchen
shed.
Irregularity in serving meals, abnormality in supply
of food grains to school, caste based discrimination
in serving foods
Awareness program and camp are not effective.
Improper breast feeding practise .
PROPOSED
SOLUTION
Mother’s home provide vitamin water, fruits,
proteinaceous food, milk with zinc content etc.
Taking health and cleanliness class to cooking staffs.
They are trained in such a way that they deliver a
parental care
Correct supplementation of vitamins straightly
under the control of health sector
Transportation is arranged for reaching mother’s
home and also for check up hence it reduces the
cost of living.
Stipend are provided which boost their family
background. T raining classes –craft work helps
them as an exercise and provide self confidence &
relief to their mind
