World Health Day is celebrated every year on April 7. The last India Health Report, focusing on nutrition, was released on December 10, 2015, by Union Health Minister JP Nadda. The report, prepared by Transform Nutrition Consortium, clearly indicated how India still suffers from malnutrition. The report examines the current situation of the country in terms of nutrition at the national and state levels. In spite of making major improvements in the last 10 years, the report shows that India still struggles to tackle malnutrition. The country meets two of the eight targets set by the World Health Organisation.
