Main Body
India is the highest producer of milk, pulses (Net food exporter) yet remains nutritional deficit with NFHS 2 showing 27.1% malnutrition scale.
Structural reasons behind the paradox:
(A) Production level:
Lack of diversification in cultivation (lower Rice, Carbohydrate dominance)
Nutritional crops grow less fruits → Obesity Malnutrition Tripod Under Nutritional Burden
2Access-production level:
Carbohydrates in transport/storage shortage (transport costs, inefficient cold supply chains)
IFS & Beneficiary excluded due to governance issues
3Food Habits - Lack awareness of healthy food (LOANER Survey - only 27% are food healthy food)
4Women's sphere - as in Jharkhand (5741) & No sphere policy
Reform strategy:
1Nutritional sensitivity - Fortified foods (Vitamin A) through Aadhaar direct benefit transfers
2Public health campaigns (FAB India, awareness) & (SDA 3)
Women's sphere - Focus on - healthcare, property and insurance accessibility frameworks
Accessibility triangle with 3A: Accountability, Affordability, Need from government
3Adversity core - pulses to millets (Horti-culture)
4Free health checkups and screening
5Mobile clinics (Mohalla clinic model)
3Accessibility:
Healthcare Sector
Need from government
