high in our country
Premier Dr. Manmohan Singh
************************

longer rely soley on it and we need to focus on districts where
malnutrition levels are high where conditions causing malnutrition
prevail and said that policy makers and programme implementers
need to clearly understand many linkages - between education and
health, sanitation and hygiene, drinking water and nutrition and
the shape their responses accordingly. He said he had always believed
that mother's education level, economic status of the family,
sanitation and hygiene, status of woman in the family, breastfeeding
and other good child rearing practices affect children's nutrition,
the survey has broadly validated these hypotheses.
Premier Dr. Singh reportedly said his government was working to
launch a strengthened and restructured ICDS to start a multi-sectoral
programme for 200 high burden districts and initiate a nationwide
communication campaign against malnutrition, news reports said.
