...is a necessary condtion for food security. India is more or less self sufficient in cereals but deficit in pulses and oil seeds. Due to changes in consumption patterns, demand for fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, poultry, and 38 fishery products has been increasing. There is a need to increase crop diversification and improve allied activities. It may be noted that the slowdown in agriculture growth could be attributed to structural factors on the supply side, such as public investment, credit, technology, land and water management, etc., rather than globalization and trade reforms per se. There are six deficits in Indian agriculture. These are: (i) investment, credit, and infrastructure deficit; (ii) land and water management deficit; (iii) research and extension (technology) deficit; (iv) market deficit; (v) diversification deficit; and (vi) institutions deficit. Reforms are needed to reduce these deficits in order to achieve the following goals of agriculture: (i) 4 per cent growth in agriculture; (ii) equity in terms of higher growth in lagging regions, small and marginal farmers, and women; and (iii) sustainability. Access to food can be increased through employment due to growth in labour intensive sectors and/or through social protection programmes. The problem of malnutrition is much broader than that of access to food. The South Asian Enigma (malnutrition levels in South Asia are higher than in Africa) is well known. India has malnutrition levels almost double those...

Sharma Oxfam India working papers series September 2010 OIWPS - VII Abstract This paper examines performance, challenges, and policies in food security in terms of availability, access, and absorption or nutrition. Specifically, the paper addresses the following questions: (i) What is the progress in supply side of food in terms of availability at the national level? (ii) How far has India progressed in attaining access to food and nutrition requirements at the household level? (iii) What are the programmes and policies that India has followed in realizing food and nutrition security? (iv) What should be done to realize food and nutrition security for all citizens of India? Food availability is a necessary condition for food security. India is more or less self sufficient in cereals but deficit in pulses and oilseeds. Due to changes in consumption patterns, demand for fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, poultry, and fisheries has been increasing. There is need to increase crop diversification and improve allied activities.

...An Estimate of Public Expenditure on Health in India Mita Choudhury H.K. Amar Nath National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP) 18/2 Satsang Vihar Marg New Delhi May 2012 An Estimate of Public Expenditure on Health in India The level of public spending on health has been a widely discussed issue in India in recent times. Various research studies as well as policy documents have repeatedly highlighted the low level of public spending on health in India.1 In particular, public spending on health as a per cent of GDP has been the focus of discussions, as it is an indicator of the priority accorded to health in the planning process of the country. Policy documents like the Approach Paper to the Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012 to 2017), the High Level Expert Group for Universal Health Coverage (HLEG), the Programme Implementation Framework of the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) and the Report of the National Commission on Macroeconomics and Health (NCMH) have all endorsed the need to raise the level of public spending on health in India from around one per cent to 2 to 3 per cent of GDP. Monitoring the progress towards achieving the target level of public spending on health has been difficult, due to ambiguity in the definition of health expenditure used, and the corresponding figures reported by different government agencies. The latest Economic Survey, 2011-12 of the Government of India suggests that public spending on health was around 1...

...Proper nutrition is a powerful good: people who are well nourished are more likely to be healthy, productive and able to learn. Good nutrition benefits families, their communities and the world as a whole. Undernutrition is, by the same logic, devastating. It blunts the intellect, saps the productivity of everyone it touches and perpetuates poverty. Stunting - or low height for age - traps people into a lifelong cycle of poor nutrition, illness, poverty and inequity. The damage to physical and cognitive development, especially during the first two years of a child’s life, is largely irreversible. A child’s poorer school performance results in future income reductions of up to 22 per cent on average. As adults, they are also at increased risk of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) period from birth to two years of age is the “critical window” for the promotion of good growth, health, and behavioral and cognitive developmentmothers are empowered to initiate breastfeeding within one hour of birth, breastfeed exclusively for the first six months and continue to breastfeed for two years or more, together with nutritionally adequate, safe, age appropriate, responsive complementary feeding starting at six months. Maternal nutrition is also important for ensuring good nutrition status of the infant as well as safeguarding women's health. .

...Research Proposal Student Name: Dhanesh.P.Gandhi Pathway: 1. WORKING TITLE: Analysing the best practice’s involved in the implementation of mid day meals in India. 2. AIM OF THE STUDY: An analytical study on the operational feasibility and challenges of providing mid day meals in India. 3. RATIONALE AND BACKGROUND FOR THE STUDY: The national program for nutritional support for primary children also known as the mid day meal program is one of the largest welfare programs in India and one of the only programs aimed at reducing hunger from the age group of 6-12 and increase the attendance in the primary education system. There are two models, which is the centralized model, and the decentralized model and it has been observed that most states are shifting towards the centralized approach; The program has been active since 1995 but there are still major cases of nutrition deficiency, anaemia, lack of vitamin A and iodine among many children in the country. (Rani & Sharma) A research work carried out by the centre for equity studies Delhi states that: - The drawbacks of the centralised approach include lack of employment, increased risk of food spoilage, no community participation, and lack of transparency; hence a research will be done to determine the effectiveness and viability of this approach and its comparison with the decentralized and handmade approach to food.

...Immediate Nutrition Concerns that India needs to address Awareness at all levels (policy makers, planners, professionals and people in general), and Access for every individual, at Affordable cost to balanced diet, safe environment and drinking water (to ensure Absorption), and preventive and curative health care. Agriculture has to be nutrition oriented. Nutrition should be an important component of professional and school education. All government policies, missions and programmes concerned with food production and processing, food and nutrient supplementation, sanitation, drinking water and health should have nutrition improvement as an output criterion. Attention to female health and empowerment, appropriate infant and child feeding practices, and prevention of micronutrient deficiencies among others can yield results in short time. India needs a Nutrition Security Act to operationalise the currently sleeping Nutrition Security Mission and Nutrition Policy. Food Security Act will not eliminate malnutrition. There should be convergence between the programmes of different ministries and departments which can directly or indirectly influence nutrition security. Good governance and underpinning of science and technology will give maximum mileage out of the current efforts. While government may be able to tackle generic issues, solutions for individual problems, often come from within the community. NGOs private sector and community can all play a role...

...Chocolate SLIDE 1 Good morning friends !! Please take your chocolates from the basket. Thank you. Myself and nithya will share on Chocalates……………… SLIDE 2 So Where Chocolates come from? Yes!! It comes from most of the tropical parts of the world like Africa, Ghana the number one producer, then Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico etc etc… This is a Cacoa Tree which bears the Cocoa pods. The tree takes 5-6 years to mature and bear a fruit. The ripe cocoa pod has about 30 usable pods each year ie rougly 1000 cocoa beans a year Around 500 beans make 1 pound only ie 2 pound of bittersweet cocoa per tree in a year. Cacao farming is very labor intensive. Every part of cacao farming, from planting to harvesting to fermenting, is best done by hand, not machines. Pods must be removed from the trees individually, by hand, because not all ripen at the same time. Farmers generally use machetes or large knives attached to poles to slice down the ripe pods, taking care not to hurt nearby buds. The pods are split open by hand. The beans are scooped out and the outer shell is discarded. If you tasted a bean at this point you would notice a sweet, lemony flavor from the pulp. The actual bean would be bitter and hard to eat. SLIDE 3 Fermentation Once the cacao beans are scooped from the pods, they are fermented and dried in the two-step curing process that sets in motion the development of the flavor nuances which maketasting chocolate so exciting. Fermentation is the first critical process to develop...

...Poverty Amidst Plenty “India happens to be a rich country inhabited by very poor people”- Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister For the past few decades, India has been categorized as a developing country. In spite of significant landmarks and rapid advancements in various sectors, India has failed to become a developed country. While the nation has been making headlines for economic boom, multitudes of billionaires, construction of skyscrapers, million dollar investments and achievements in technology; the death rates, malnutrition, illiteracy and poverty is multiplying manifold. India is a country which has prosperity on one side of the coin and poverty on the other. It is the stark impact of poverty that hinders the growth of the country. Gone are the days when India used to be a famine land and had to rely on the Americas for the supply of PL wheat. With the advent of the Green revolution, India, not only eliminated famine but also increased its food production and became self-sufficient in food grains. Operation Flood, initiated by National Dairy Development Board in 1970 introduced a National Milk Grid that was effective in reducing the poverty and famine levels. It has also made India the largest producer of milk and dairy products in the world. Agriculture has been the base of India’s economic development with its existence dating back to the Indus Valley Civilization. Today, India is one of the major agricultural economies in the world, in terms of area of cultivation...
