Uttar Pradesh Reports 8.2% Decline in Child Stunting, Nutrition Efforts Ongoing
Uttar Pradesh has seen an 8.2 percentage point decline in child stunting among children under five, dropping from 39.7% in NFHS-5 to 31.5% in NFHS-6. Officials attribute this improvement to enhanced nutrition, health services, and family care, with campaigns led under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath focusing on maternal awareness and nutrition support. Despite progress, challenges remain in ensuring adequate nutrition and health monitoring for children and pregnant women across the state.
