Abstract :
As per Global Health Observatory Data (GHO) 2015, “1 in 7 children were estimated to be underweight in less developed regions. High prevalence combined with a large population, means that most underweight children (49 million) live in Southern Asia.” Also as per UNICEF report “Rates of overweight continue to rise across all regions. Overweight was once associated mainly with high-income countries, but in 2011, 69 per cent of the global burden of overweight children under 5 years old were in low- and middle-income coun¬tries.” [1]. India is considered to be one of the less developed countries. The objective of this paper is to explore existence interstate diversification of child health in India. On the whole, it appears that child health (that is, being Under-weight) is improved by improving socio-economic variable. Adequate diet, exclusive breastfeeding, women’s literacy are found to be major determinants of improving child health in India.
