The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram
|December 08, 2025
A new analysis of nearly half a million children across Uttarakhand has exposed a "nutrition emergency", revealing widespread child malnutrition that threatens the state's future economic potential.
The study, which reviewed data from 4.83 lakh children aged up to 5 years across all 13 districts, shows that despite previous accolades, the state's nutritional health has severely deteriorated.
The findings, compiled by Dr Kirti Kumari, scientist at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Tehri Garhwal, and brand ambassador for 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao', pinpoint four districts requiring immediate, targeted intervention based on data from 15,514 Anganwadi centres.
