NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES 1096. SHRI EATALA RAJENDER: Will the Minister of WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT be pleased to state: (a) whether nutritional deficiencies below 03 years of age are impossible to reverse in some cases, if so, the details thereof; (b) whether India has made progress in overcoming nutritional deficiencies during the last three decades, if so, the details thereof; (c) whether with the current rate of decline, stunting prevalence (low height for 05.12.2025 797 age) is likely to be 10% only by 2075, if so, the details thereof; and (d) whether the country can achieve the target by 2047 through double pace, if so, the details thereof along with the corrective steps taken, to meet future targets and the funds sanctioned therefor? THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI SAVITRI THAKUR): (a): Evidence shows that nutritional deficiencies such as childhood stunting, wasting, underweight and anemia can be prevented by integrated interventions including appropriate IYCF practices, nutrition supplementation, improving water, sanitation, hygiene and appropriate management of infections. Nutrition Anemia and other micronutrient deficiencies can be effectively reversed by treatment with iron and multiple micronutrients. Nutrition goes beyond mere eating of food; it requires proper digestion, absorption, and metabolism of nutrients. This process is influenced by factors like sanitation, education and access to safe drinking water. As malnutrition requires a multi-sectoral approach involving dimensions of food, health, water, sanitation and education, it is crucial to effectively address the issue of malnutrition in a convergent manner. It is being addressed under Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 by establishing cross cutting convergence amongst more than 18 Ministries/Departments. To address the challenge of malnutrition, Anganwadi services, Poshan Abhiyaan and Scheme for Adolescent girls (of 14-18 years in Aspirational Districts and 05.12.2025 798 North-Eastern region) have been subsumed under the umbrella Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 (Mission Poshan 2.0). It is a Centrally Sponsored Mission where the responsibility for implementation of various activities lies with the States and UTs. This Mission is a universal self-selecting umbrella scheme where there are no entry barriers for any beneficiary to register and receive services. This Mission is being implemented across the country including rural and tribal districts of Maharashtra. The objectives of Mission are as follows:  To contribute to development of human capital in the country;  Address challenge of malnutrition;  Promote nutrition awareness and good eating habits for sustainable health and wellbeing Continuous efforts are being taken under the mission to address malnutrition in the country including:  Under Mission Poshan 2.0 a new strategy has been made for reduction in malnutrition and for improved health, wellness and immunity through activities like community engagement, outreach, behavioural change and advocacy. It focuses on Maternal Nutrition, Infant and Young Child Feeding Norms, treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM)/ Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) and wellness through AYUSH practices to reduce prevalence of wasting, stunting, anaemia and being underweight.  Under this Mission, Supplementary Nutrition is provided to 05.12.2025 799 Children (6 months to 6 years), Pregnant Women, Lactating Mothers and Adolescent Girls to beat the intergenerational cycle of malnutrition by adopting a life cycle approach. Supplementary nutrition is provided in accordance with the nutrition norms contained in Schedule-II of the National Food Security Act, 2013. These norms have been revised in January 2023. The old norms were largely calorie-specific; however, the revised norms are more comprehensive and balanced in terms of both quantity and quality of supplementary nutrition based on the principles of diet diversity that provides for quality protein, healthy fats and micronutrients (Calcium, Zinc, Iron, Dietary Folate, Vitamin A, Vitamin- B6 and Vitamin B-12).  Further, Fortified rice is being supplied to AWCs to meet the requirement of micro-nutrients and to control anaemia among women and children. Greater emphasis is being laid on the use of millets at least once a week for preparation of Hot Cooked Meal and Take-Home ration at Anganwadi Centers.  Ministries of Women & Child Development and Health & Family Welfare have jointly released the protocol for Community Management of Malnutrition (CMAM) to prevent and treat severely acute malnutrition in children and for reducing associated morbidity and mortality.  Under this Mission, one of the major activities undertaken is Community Mobilization and Awareness Advocacy to educate people on nutritional 05.12.2025 800 aspects as adoption of good nutrition habit requires sustained efforts for behavioural change. State and UTs are conducting and reporting regular sensitisation activities under Jan Andolans during Poshan Maahs and Poshan Pakhwadas celebrated in the months of September and March- April respectively. Community Based Events (CBEs) have served as a significant strategy in changing nutritional practices and all Anganwadi workers are required to conduct two Community Based Events every month. (b) to (d): To address the challenge of Malnutrition, Anganwadi services, Poshan Abhiyaan and Scheme for Adolescent girls (of 14-18 years in Aspirational Districts and North-Eastern region) have been subsumed under the umbrella Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 (Mission Poshan 2.0. Various rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) conducted by Ministry of Health & Family Welfare since 1992-93 have shown improvement in malnutrition indicators in children across India. Details of these indicators for children since NFHS-1 to NFHS-5 are given below: NFHS Survey Stunting % Underweight % Wasting % NFHS-1 (1992-93) * 52 53.4 17.5 NFHS-2 (1998-99) ** 45.5 47 15.5 NFHS-3 (2005-6) *** 48.0 42.5 19.8 NFHS-4 (2015-16) *** 38.4 35.8 21.0 NFHS-5 (2019-21) *** 35.5 32.1 19.3 Poshan Tracker Data (Oct 2025) *** 33.54 14.41 5.03 05.12.2025 801 * Under 4 years ** Under 3 years *** Under 5 years The analysis of the above NFHS data and the Poshan Tracker data shows improvement in malnutrition indicators in children across the country. The ‘Poshan Tracker’ application was rolled out on 1st March 2021 as an important governance tool. The State/UT wise data from Poshan Tracker, on Stunting, wasting and underweight is available at the link: https://www.poshantracker.in/statistics . In 2021, the World Bank conducted a survey in 11 priority states (Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh) with the highest rates of anemia and stunting. The aim of this survey was to assess the program’s delivery of nutrition services, whether the nutritional knowledge of beneficiaries had improved and if they had adopted more appropriate nutrition and feeding practices. The findings demonstrated that the services delivered through the Poshan Abhiyaan – the receipt of relevant messages, home visits by the anganwadi worker, and attendance at community-based events – were associated with improved nutrition behaviors. The survey also found that the program's nutrition messages reached more than 80% of women, and that 81% of women practiced exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months. A third-party evaluation and impact assessment of Poshan Abhiyaan was conducted by NITI Aayog in 2020 05.12.2025 802 and in 2025 and found its relevance to be satisfactory for tackling malnutrition in the country. Various steps have been taken up from time to time to ensure uninterrupted nutrition delivery under Poshan 2.0. Following are some of the initiatives undertaken recently:  As on date, 2 lakh Anganwadi Centres have been approved to be upgraded as Saksham Anganwadis for improved nutrition delivery and for imparting early childhood care and development. Saksham Anganwadis are provided with better infrastructure than the conventional Anganwadi Centres which includes internet/Wi-Fi connectivity, LED screens, water purifier/installation of RO Machine and smart learning equipments.  Poshan Tracker an ICT tool has been implemented for monitoring and tracking of all AWCs, AWWs and beneficiaries on defined indicators. Technology under Poshan Tracker is being leveraged for dynamic identification of stunting, wasting, under-weight prevalence among children. It has facilitated near real time data collection for Anganwadi Services such as, daily attendance, ECCE, Delivery of Hot Cooked Meal (HCM)/Take Home Ration (THR-not raw ration), Growth Measurement etc. The App also offers counselling videos on key behaviours and services which help disseminate messages on birth preparedness, delivery, post-natal care, breastfeeding, and complementary feeding.  Under the Poshan Bhi Padhai Bhi (PBPB) initiative, the Ministry is 05.12.2025 803 imparting training to all the officials and field functionaries in the States/ UTs through a cascading model of training, wherein Master Trainers (namely, District Officers, Block Coordinators and Supervisors) are trained, and the master trainers further train all Anganwadi Workers in the field. As on 30th November 2025, 8,95,814 AWWs have been trained across the country. Besides these, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is implementing Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAH+N) strategy in a life cycle approach under National Health Mission (NHM), which includes interventions to address malnutrition and anaemia across all States/UTs in the country. One of the interventions is Anaemia Mukt Bharat. To address nutritional deficiencies among children across the country, following interventions are implemented.  Mothers’ Absolute Affection (MAA) Programme is implemented to improve breastfeeding coverage which includes early initiation of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding for first six months followed by counselling on age-appropriate complementary feeding practices.  Nutrition Rehabilitation Centers (NRCs) are set up at public health facilities to provide in-patient medical and nutritional care to children under 5 years suffering from Severe Acute Malnourishment (SAM) with medical complications with special focus on improving the skills of mothers and caregivers on timely, adequate and appropriate feeding for children. 05.12.2025 804  Under Anaemia Mukt Bharat (AMB) strategy prophylactic Iron Folic Acid supplementation as biweekly IFA syrup is provided to children (6-59 months) across all States/UTs.  Lactation Management Centres: Lactation Management Units (LMU) are facilities established to ensure the availability of Mother’s Own Milk or Donor Human Milk for feeding of sick, preterm and low birth weight babies admitted in Intensive Care Units.  Under National Deworming Day (NDD) albendazole tablets are administered in a single fixed day approach via schools and Anganwadi centres in two rounds (February and August) to reduce the soil transmitted helminth (STH) infestation among all children (1-19 years).  Vitamin A Supplementation programme is implemented to administer biannual Vitamin A supplementation to all children below five years of age (9-59 months).  Village Health Sanitation and Nutrition Days (VHSNDs) are observed for provision of maternal and child health services and creating awareness on maternal and childcare including nutrition in convergence with Ministry of Women and Child Development.

The Directorate had issued guidelines, viz.DGS Order No.23 of 2014 and DGS Order No. 04 of 2016 and DGS Training Circular No.33 of 2018 for the MTIs to comply with the CIP requirements. (d): Admissions to pre-sea courses are required to be primarily routed through the Indian Maritime University – Common Entrance Test (IMU-CET) to insure quality and transparency in maritime education. As per DGS Training Circular No. 21/2025, MTIs must admit at least 60% of candidates from the IMU-CET merit list. To prevent under-utilization of training capacity and support MIV 2030 goals, a controlled second-phase admission pathway is proposed only for remaining vacant seats, with strict eligibility criteria (minimum 60% PCM and appearance in JEE/State Engineering Entrance). All such admissions must be recorded on the DGS e-Governance portal, ensuring full transparency, compliance, and adherence to DGS/STCW standards. (e): Several digital reforms have been undertaken to strengthen transparency compliance and monitoring across MTIs. DGS has undertaken real-time digital attendance through Centralized Attendance System (CAS) 2.0, the Digital 05.12.2025 818 Training & Assessment Record and the upgraded MTI module on the e- Governance portal for secure real time data capture and seamless integration with the DGS e-Gov. Portal for improved over sight and unified reporting. The Comprehensive Inspection Programme is also being strengthened with updated KPIs, revised grading weightages and the inclusion of faculty quality parameters.

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS (SHRIMATI ANUPRIYA PATEL): (a): With regard to Urea Fertilizers, it may be stated that the Government had announced New Investment Policy (NIP) – 2012 on 2nd January, 2013 and its amendment on 7th October, 2014 to facilitate fresh investment in the Urea sector and to make India self-sufficient in the Urea sector. Total 6 new Urea units have been set up under NIP-2012 which includes 4 Urea units set up through Joint Venture Companies (JVC) of nominated PSUs and 2 Urea units set up by the private companies. The units set up through JVC are Ramagundam Urea unit of Ramagundam Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd (RFCL) in Telangana and 3 Urea units namely Gorakhpur, Sindri and Barauni of Hindustan Urvarak & Rasayan Limited (HURL) in Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar, respectively. The units set up by private companies are Panagarh Urea unit of Matix Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd. (Matix) in West Bengal; and Gadepan-III Urea unit of Chambal Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd. (CFCL) in Rajasthan. Each of these units has installed capacity of 12.7 Lakh Metric Tonne per annum (LMTPA). These units are highly energy efficient as they are based on latest technology. Therefore, these units have together added Urea production capacity of 76.2 LMTPA, thereby total indigenous Urea production capacity (Reassessed Capacity, RAC) has increased from 207.54 LMTPA during 2014-15 to 283.74 LMTPA during 05.12.2025 838 2023-24. Further, an exclusive policy for the revival of Talcher unit of FCIL through JVC of nominated PSUs namely Talcher Fertilizers Limited (TFL) by setting up a new Greenfield Urea plant of 12.7 LMTPA at coal gasification route has also been approved. Recently, the Union Cabinet has approved the proposal for setting up of a new Brownfield Ammonia-Urea Complex of 12.7 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT) annual capacity of Urea production within the existing premises of Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited (BVFCL), Namrup, Assam. In addition, the Government also notified the New Urea Policy (NUP) – 2015 on 25th May, 2015 for the existing 25 gas-based Urea units with one of the objectives of maximizing indigenous Urea production beyond RAC. The NUP- 2015 has led to additional production of Urea by 20-25 LMT as compared to the production during 2014-15 annually. Above steps together have facilitated increase of Urea production from level of 225 LMT per annum during 2014-15 to 306.67 LMT of Urea during 2024-25. With regard to P&K Fertilizers, the Government has implemented Nutrient Based Subsidy Policy w.e.f. 01.04.2010 for Phosphatic and Potassic (P&K) Fertilizers. Under NBS policy, P&K fertilizers are covered under Open General License (OGL) and companies are free to import/manufacture these fertilizers as per their business dynamics. To boost domestic fertilizer production and make country self-reliant the following measures have been taken by the Government: 05.12.2025 839 (i) Based on the requests, the new manufacturing units or increase in manufacturing capacity of existing units have been recognized / taken on record under the NBS subsidy scheme. (ii) The number of P&K fertilizers covered under NBS policy has increased from 22 grades in 2021 to 28 grades. (iii) Freight Subsidy on SSP, which is an indigenously manufactured fertilizer, has been approved since Kharif, 2022 to promote SSP usage for providing Phosphatic or 'P' nutrient to the soil. (b): In October 2021, China amended its catalogue of commodities requiring mandatory additional inspection prior to export of fertilizer-related items, including DAP. The details of production, consumption and import of DAP including import from China during last three years are given below:- DAP fig. in LMT Year Consumption Production Total Import Import from China 2022-23 105.31 43.50 68.72 12.17 2023-24 109.72 42.96 56.71 22.28 2024-25 96.29 37.72 49.72 08.47 (c): Following steps are taken by the Government every season for ensuring timely and adequate supply of fertilizers in the country: i. Before the commencement of each cropping season, Department of 05.12.2025 840 Agriculture and Farmers Welfare (DA&FW), in consultation with all the State Governments, assesses the state-wise & month-wise requirement of fertilizers. ii. On the basis of requirement projected, Department of Fertilizers allocates sufficient/adequate quantities of fertilizers to States by issuing monthly supply plan and continuously monitors the availability. iii. The movement of all major subsidized fertilizers is monitored throughout the country by an on-line web-based monitoring system called integrated Fertilizer Monitoring System (iFMS); iv. Regular Weekly Video Conference is conducted jointly by DA&FW and D/o Fertilizers with State Agriculture Officials and corrective actions are taken to dispatch fertilizers as indicated by the State Governments. Further, Phosphatic & Potassic (P&K) fertilizers including Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) are under Open General License (OGL). The fertilizer companies are free to import / manufacture these fertilizers as per their business dynamics. However, to ensure affordability, special provisions like Rs. 3500 per MT to cover ‘Other Costs’ which includes costs incurred from factory gate to farm gate, advantage / disadvantage due to increase / decrease in international prices, provision for GST component included in the MRP and provision for reasonable return @ 4% of net MRP (MRP-GST) have been extended to both imported and domestic DAP and imported TSP over and above NBS subsidy for Kharif 2025 season to keep the prices of fertilizers stable. The said provisions have been extended for Rabi 2025-26 season also. 05.12.2025 841 (d): With regard to the implementation of new energy norms, an Expert Group under NITI Aayog was engaged to recommend the energy norms to be applicable from 1st April, 2025. The Group has submitted its report on the proposed new energy norms for Urea units. The report is presently under examination in the Department of Fertilizers. (e): As per the observation of Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) that the issues related to the costing of Urea units may be referred to Chief Advisor (Cost) in the Ministry of Finance for examination and recommendation, the Department of Fertilizers requested Department of Expenditure that the Chief Advisor (Cost) may examine and give recommendations on reinstating the provisions of the minimum fixed cost of Rs. 2300/MT under the Modified NPS-III with retrospective effect i.e. from 2nd April 2014.
