Yes, impact on eliminating hunger and malnutrition in India, the National Food Security Act has helped in increasing the coverage and access to subsidized food grains for a significant portion of the population. Malnourished children are moved to government healthcare centres. This is supplemented by Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programmes, improving community hygiene and sanitation to prevent diarrhea – a leading cause of malnutrition. In high-income countries, 40% of food is wasted because people buy more food than they can consume. In low-income countries, where the vast majority of the world's hungriest people live, most food loss occurs during the early stages of growth, harvest and storage. To end poverty, it is essential to have access to basic amenities, especially in rural areas. Poor people will be able to work productively and emerge from poverty if they have access to food, shelter, and potable water. The best way to prevent malnutrition is to eat a healthy, balanced diet. Try not to miss or skip meals and aim to eat three small meals a day and two to three snacks a day if your appetite is poor. Take drinks after your meal, not before or during as that can fill you up.Various Programmes and Schemes under the Government of India were launched to eradicate poverty and for providing basic amenities to the poor households. Schemes like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and Housing for All by 2022 were developed to provide housing to the rural and urban poor. Strengthening public health interventions for mild malnutrition cases and vulnerable groups, effective implementation and evaluation of the strategies at regional level, research on overweight, obesity and its etiological factors and steps for improving socioeconomic development are the prerequisites for tackling malnutrition.
