Insight into challenge of improving nutrition,health and family welfare schemes run by Indian government

The India’s food problems are far more complex and widespread than just under nutrition. Certainly, some people have no food at all and every year approximately 1.5 lac children die from wasting caused by severe under nutrition. But most people in poor states never have to grapple with total starvation ? for them, malnutrition caused by an imbalance or inadequate diet is more likely. Developing states already priorities food security, i.e. ensuring access to food. But it is increasingly clear that simply providing food is not enough. To protect vulnerable populations, Indian government has introduced several nutrition security schemes, focusing its responsibility towards helping people who are facing malnutrition. The study also undertakes most of the schemes run by Indian Government under Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and analyzes the extent to which these schemes are being successfully implemented. In this era of communication and Information technology most of the people are still unaware of these policies and hence unable to reap the respective benefits. Due to corruption, political and non-political reasons, the procedures to avail benefits related to these welfare schemes become difficult, unreachable, lengthy and complicated. Unfortunately there are loop holes in the proper implementation of these policies. Through this paper we want to reveal the actual picture schemes run by our Government for Health and Family welfare.
