India has been one of the countries to have had among the worst effects of CoVID 19 pandemic.

NFHS - 5 data was released for 22 States / UTs except UP, MP, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Punjab, Jharkhand and Odisha. But the data shows a disappointing record on parameters like child nutrition and adult anthropometric measurements.
NFHS - 5 shows that 4 parameters of nutritional status on children declined in 2019-20 compared to NFHS - 4 (2015-16) in many states.
Ex. Childhood Stunting increased in 13 of the 22 States/ UTs. Even though Bihar has shown a decline of 5.4% in stunting, it still has the highest % of stunted children (42.9%) among the big States.

But the poor anthropometric measures related to hunger and nutrition suggests that Government schemes like POSHAN Abhiyaan will need a push and focus to meet targets of 2% point decrease in child stunting every year.
Moreover, this pandemic and its impact should make the Center and States to refocus on welfare delivery as a concerted strategy to eradicate hunger an extreme poverty. This will not just help India achieve UN's SDGs but will also be helpful in reviving the economy.
