Guess which state improved most in malnutrition? Its Gujarat . As on 31 March 2007, the figure for malnourished children in Gujarat was the highest in the country – at 70.69 percent, well above the national average of 50.1 percent. But guess what happened by 2011? Gujarat is the most improved state with malnourishment down to 38.77 percent – the sharpest improvement in India. Not only that, Gujarat is now comfortably above the national average on malnourishment at 41.16 percent. Says the CAG report: “There was substantial decrease in the malnourished children in six states (Gujarat, from 71 to 39 percent); Karnataka (from 53 to 41 percent); Uttar Pradesh (from 53 to 41 percent); Uttarakhand (from 46 to 25 percent): and West Bengal (from 53 to 37 percent). The survey, using data provided by the ministry of women and child welfare, updates the information to 31 March 2011, and shows a marked improvement for almost all states. And especially Gujarat. Its for those who are unnecessarily projecting Gujrat as worst state and how come the report released in Mrch is getting discussed now !!!!! its simply a propaganda of Congress and Biased Media Groups !!!!!!!! firstpost/economy/guess-which-state-improved-most-in-malnutrition-gujarat-650087.html
