  • Malnutrition in turn leads to increased school drop-out rate, juvenile delinquency, and increased vulnerability to various diseases—all this culminates in drop in workforce and production and a weakened village economy
  • Several analysts calculate Indian poverty levels in terms of calorific requirements . In other words, one of the ways to tackle poverty in India is through managing nutrition instead of only providing livelihoods.
