The report is divided into two parts. The first part comprises a detailed national nutrition situation analysis, with data as far as possible disaggregated by state. It includes data on nutrition and mortality outcome vis−a−vis age, sex and socioeconomic status. Changing trends in food consumption and nutritional status of children and adults are described. Data on other nutrition−related indicators such as food production, population growth, health services and environmental conditions are also included for better understanding of
the observed trends in nutrition. In the second part, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu − the two neighbouring South Indian states were chosen
for an indepth review of policies and programmes, with a view to understand what worked and why in effecting the observed nutritional improvement in these states.
