Starvation in India

Today in the New York Times, there is a story about how the Indian Growth is still soaring while child starvation increases. Children are dying of lack of food and nourishment. In India despite growth and good government intentions, has malnutrition at 42.5 percent. Malnutrition makes children more prone to illness and stunts physical and intellectual growth for a lifetime. There are no simple explanations. India’s public expenditure on health remains low, and in some places, financing for child nutrition programs remains unspent.
