Overview
Addressing the malnutrition challenge in the Indian context is one of the key focus area for the Trusts. Tata Trusts, under the leadership of Mr Tata, has prioritised malnutrition because of the alarming statistics that we have in the country and the inter-generational consequences the problem has. Malnutrition is believed to be the underlying cause of over 45 percent of under-five mortality. India has a high prevalence of childhood stunting and maternal and childhood anaemia. These can have long-term effects on cognition and overall productivity. There is evidence that malnutrition can result in potential Gross Domestic Product (GDP) losses of 2-3 percent and a more than 10 percent potential reduction in lifetime earnings for each malnourished individual.
