This document discusses malnutrition in India. It states that India is home to the largest number of hungry people in the world, with over 200 million malnourished. Nearly half of Indian children under age 5 are stunted and underweight. Malnutrition contributes to over 50% of child deaths in India and costs the country 2.95% of its GDP annually. While the government has implemented programs to address malnutrition, such as mid-day meals in schools, challenges remain and innovative solutions are still needed to fully tackle this problem.
