Nutrition Challenges in the Next Decade

Abstract

My heart aches to think of the conditions of the poor and the low in India. So long as millions live in hunger and ignorance, I hold everyone a traitor, who has been educated at their expense and pays not the least heed to them. No amount of politics can be of any avail until the masses of India are well fed, well educated and well cared for. — Swami Vivekanandha [1] The State shall regard the raising of the level of nutrition and the standard of living of its people and the improvement of public health as among its primary duties. — Article 47 of the Constitution of India [2]
