Abstract
Malnutrition among children poses a significant health issue, leading to both immediate and long-term adverse health consequences. Shockingly, around two out of every three children in India, residing in both rural and urban areas, experience undernourishment. Moreover, the future behavioral and psychological well-being of children is profoundly affected by the consequences of insufficient nutrient intake. The key observations during a child’s growth, focusing on Wasting, Stunting, and Underweight, highlight the severity of the problem. This study utilizes data from the government initiatives E-Sadhana and Anganwadi. By employing data mining and econometric techniques, the paper aims to elucidate the causal factors and provide a visual representation of the disparities in under-nutrition across the state, considering economic and social factors.
