India prioritizing malnutrition can reduce hunger: WFP

The UN's World Food Programme is of the view that Indian's commitment to accord priority to malnutrition can make a significant contribution to the global fight against malnourishment and hunger. While the proportion of malnourished people has fallen in India, their absolute numbers are rising with the population. Sheeran added that the WFP would like to benefit from the wisdom available at grass root level regarding food management.
