New Delhi, February 27, 2022: India is a country that has a tremendous 33 lakh children who suffer from malnutrition. Despite years of efforts to tackle this malaise, the country’s child malnutrition rates are still one of the most alarming in the world. Imperative for the growth and development of children is regular sources of protein, without which children can face multiple health issues, including fatigue, poor concentration, and lower immunity. This goes on to heavily impact their performance in school.

It should come as no surprise that most children affected by this come from underprivileged communities. This crisis requires urgent attention from those that can help dissipate it, including corporates. Through CSR, we have the ability to combine our strengths and work towards collectively bringing down the malnutrition rates. Through collaboration, and a well thought out plan targeted at holistic healthcare of underprivileged children, we can slowly and surely reduce the number of malnourished children in our country, stepping towards a healthier and stronger nation.
