Adequate nutrition and quality primary care play’s an essential role in a child’s physical, mental and emotional development. A proper diet is essential from the very early age of life for growth, development, active life, and unsustainable harm to the child’s health. Malnutrition in India has adversely affected the lives of millions of children; it is home to 46.6 million stunted children, a third of the world’s total as per the Global Nutrition Report 2018.

Health statistics of rural India continue to be poor, the health status and access to health for the poor in urban slum dwellers has surfaced to be equally deplorable and have less than 4% of government primary public health care facilities.
