Undernourished Children: A Call for Reform and Action
World Bank
India's Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) needs to undergo significant changes to address the current malnutrition crisis in India, according to a World Bank
report. The prevalence of underweight children in India is among the highest in the world, and is nearly double that of Sub-Saharan Africa, the report says. It also observes
that malnutrition in India is a concentrated phenomenon. A relatively small number of states, districts, and villages account for a large share of the burden - 5 states and 50
percent of villages account for about 80 percent of the malnutrition cases. |

National Family Health Survey, India
The National Family Health Survey (NFHS) is a large-scale, multi-round survey conducted in a representative sample of households throughout India. Three rounds of the
survey have been conducted since the first survey in 1992-93. The survey provides state and national information for India on fertility, infant and child mortality, the
practice of family planning, maternal and child health, reproductive health, nutrition, anaemia, utilization and quality of health and family planning services. Each successive
round of the NFHS has had two specific goals:
a) to provide essential data on health and family welfare needed by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and other agencies for policy and programme purposes, and
b) to provide information on important emerging health and family welfare issues.
The third National Family Health Survey (NFHS-3) was carried out in 2005-2006. Eighteen Research Organizations including five Population Research Centres carried out the survey in 29 states of India.

The prevalence of child undernutrition in India is among the highest in the world, nearly double that of Sub-Saharan Africa,
with dire consequences for morbidity, mortality, productivity and economic growth. Drawing on qualitative studies and
quantitative evidence from large household surveys, this book explores the dimensions of child undernutrition in India and
examines the effectiveness of the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) program, India's main early child development
intervention, in addressing it. Although levels of undernutrition in India declined modestly during the 1990s, the reductions
lagged behind those achieved by other countries with similar economic growth. Nutritional inequalities across different states
and socioeconomic and demographic groups remain large. Although the ICDS program appears to be well-designed and well-placed to
address the multi-dimensional causes of malnutrition in India, several problems exist that prevent it from reaching its
potential. The book concludes with a discussion of a number of concrete actions that can be taken to bridge the gap between the
policy intentions of ICDS and its actual implementation.

Breast Crawl
Initiation of Breastfeeding by Breast Crawl
visit breastcrawl.org for video and complete dossier.
UNICEF, WHO and WABA along with the scientific community strongly recommend initiating breastfeeding within an hour of birth.
Evidence shows that early initiation can prevent 22% of all deaths among babies below one month in developing countries.
Every newborn, when placed on the mother's abdomen, soon after birth, has the ability to find its mother's breast
all on its own and to decide when to take the first breastfeed. This is called the "Breast Crawl".
This method is evidence based and has been field tested by us. A documentary on the "Breast Crawl" has been prepared
for training, advocacy and for wider dissemination. The video has created a very high level of sensitivity among all
the levels of functionaries and was officially endorsed by senior policy makers as the right approach for initiating
breastfeeding. This dossier provides the background and a scientific overview to the documentary.
We are sure that this documentary and dossier will greatly help similar initiatives worldwide. It is our strong
desire that this information helps every mother and baby to experience the miracle of Breast Crawl. If we all could
achieve early initiation of breastfeeding, we will be able to prevent 22% of all deaths among babies below 1 month.
This can be achieved by training all health care providers to initiate breastfeeding, by Breast Crawl, to give infants the best start in life. |

The Society of
Nutrition, Education & Health Action (SNEHA) are a voluntary secular non-profit organization founded in 1999. SNEHA was formed by a
group of concerned doctors and social workers to address the special needs of women and children in urban slums.
"You should see what a brave fight babies in neonatal intensive care units put up. And yet, so many of them die. To lose a newborn life
like this is heartbreaking. Especially when we know that such tragedies can be prevented.
We strongly believe that if a mother’s health is attended to, if she receives basic nutrition, health care and education in her formative
years as well as during pregnancy, then newborn babies would not have to die." |

HIV Testing and counselling Guidelines
Enabling people to know their status through confidential HIV testing and counselling
WHO is providing technical support to the national scale up of counselling and testing services including monitoring and evaluation of the programme.
The goal is to accelerate the quality of scale-up of integrated testing and counselling services (ICTC) as envisaged by the National AIDS Control Programme Phase III (NACP-III)
and to build local capacity for ICTC expansion which forms an important entry gateway for HIV prevention and care services.

book contains such updated information on the protein energy requirements, definition of quantum and type of fat intakes and other related themes. In addition, ADA for some
other nutrients like fat-soluble vitamins, trace elements and electrolytes are also listed. The book is a good reference guide especially for policy makers and researchers.

City Initiative for Newborn Health - Mumbai - Overview and Protocol
A Collaboration Between SNEHA, MCGM, IPU AND ICICI Bank
pdf 732 kb - 34 pages
Goal
To improve the health and survival of mothers and newborn infants in underprivileged communities in Mumbai. |
| Purpose To work with community members in urban slums to achieve improvements in maternal and newborn care practices and care seeking.
To work with municipal health service providers to strengthen decentralised primary care:
- To achieve provision of high quality antenatal and postnatal care at health posts.
- To encourage continuous quality improvement in maternal and neonatal services at maternity homes and hospitals and along the referral chain.
To test replicable and scaleable models of interventions to improve maternal and newborn health.
Methods
The initiative's primary strategies are to encourage change through participation, self-sustaining group activities, ownership,
and appreciative inquiry. The first phase of the initiative will run for 4 years. For the purposes of management and evaluation
the package will be organised into three components. Within each component, strategies will be devised by groups convened to
plan interventions to improve maternal and neonatal health. Intervention will take place at a number of levels, from community to tertiary. |

Ranchi Low Birth Weight Project - Study Protocol
Reducing Incidence of Low Birth Weight using a Community based Life Cycle Strategy
Krishi Gram Vikas Kendra, Child In Need Institute, Social Initiatives Group, ICICI Bank
pdf 805 kb - 16 pages
The Ranchi Low Birth Weight Project is a quasi-experimental action research study to evaluate the effectiveness of life-cycle
based community level behavioural interventions in reducing the incidence of low birth weight and improving maternal and child health in Ranchi district of Jharkhand state in India. |
Aims
Low birth weight (LBW) and childhood malnutrition continue to be major public health problems in India. It is well recognised
that maternal and child health services as well as a range of behavioural factors need to work synergistically to break the
intergenerational cycle of malnutrition and improve these key indicators which determine long term prosperity and productivity
of a nation. Both on the partners' and other experiences in India and elsewhere, interventions in the Ranchi LBW project aim to
improve maternal and infant health outcomes by addressing a range of medico-social and behavioural determinants of low birth
weight. The study envisages implementing and evaluating the additive effects of community level behavioural interventions in
bringing about positive improvements in maternal and infant health outcomes in an area where mandated public health and related services are ensured. |
