Obviously all promises and platitudes are forgotten once spoken on the political dais evincing the necessary applause. The government needs to form a committee on an urgent basis. Moreover, this committee has to take action and work towards a solution. There are a number of schemes to alleviate malnourishment. Most of these are myopic and remain on paper, rarely addressing the problem in a constructive manner.

Authorities have to step in to see that these children need to be adequately nourished with healthy food, and proper guidance and education is given to parents about what exactly constitutes malnourishment and how it can be combated in a healthy manner.
