Abstract:
Women’s nutrition is one such aspect that requires urgent attention as it has a direct bearing on family and community health. Adequate nutrition is primarily an issue of rights and not just utility alone. Women’s nutrition is linked to their health, education to perform better in schools and at work. If Indian women are healthy, they can contribute to the progress of their family, society, and country. Furthermore, in line with ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’, women with health on their side will also be empowered with the agency to choose their life paths and contribute to India’s holistic development.
