India's impressive economic growth has not led to a reduction in under-nutrition among its children, according to a Harvard study that said the government should use its growing revenues for direct investments in aid like food stamps to address the problem.

The Harvard School of Public Health study analysed malnutrition across various regions in India. It said under-nutrition was worst in poor and populous states like Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

It was less common in north-eastern states like Mizoram and Manipur, and also in Kerala.

How much in a Rupee spent reaches the downtrodden?  You don't require Harvard or Stanford to do this research.  Why single out certain States - this scenario is common for every States in this country!  Their representative samples are not adequate for the country of this magnitude. The respondents of our plight should be picked up from "Tea Stalls", "Nukhad Corners" and informal gatherings, then only would we get the reality!
