There is a need for convergence of nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions to effectively tackle child undernutrition in India. Examine.

According to NFHS-5, the called undernutrition of stunting and wasting in India is 35 and 32 respectively, pointing to the need of intervention in nutrition of children. Convergence of nutrition specific and nutrition positive interventions: (1) Adequate nutrition in mid-day meals, eg. serving eggs, once a week. (2) Carrying on fortification of food, eg. golden rice, vitamin A. (3) Engaging community gardens to ensure proper nutrition to children, eg. Pasban Abhiyaan acquisition of gardens.

Nutrition directive: (1) Education of children and mother about nutrition requirement, eg. Use of bogawadi water. (2) Good governance in delivering information. eg. Assam's Bengalgaon district, partnering healthy mother with sensitive mother (for nutrition). (3) Increasing the marketable age of women to provide adequate nutrition. The convergence of the two can be seen in Assam Kotnahar model where malnourishment was fought with mushroom farming.
