Malnutrition is one of the important causes of mortality and morbidity among under five children. Globally each year, malnutrition is implicated in about 40 per cent of the 11 million deaths of under five children in developing countries. Malnutrition is called an "invisible" emergency because, much like an iceberg, its deadly menace lies mostly hidden from view. More than 6000 Indian children below five years die every day due to malnourishment. Overall, India hosts 57 million or more than a third of the world's 146 million undernourished children.
