My name is Bhumik Tandon. I am currently studying in the 12th
standard at St. Columba's School, New Delhi. I have a goal in
my life, to earn enough to change lives and help people attain
their basic amenities. This is the reason why I chose the topic
of malnutrition, a topic so indigenous still so alien to people. An
issue affecting approximately 189.2 million people in our
country. I soon realised that my goal was not possible on an
individual basis, so that's why I would like to raise a fundraiser
to give people what they deserve.
So what is malnutrition? Most people believe it means the
inability to attain the right amount of food. But the actual
meaning of malnutrition is not only having the right amount but
also the right type, enough to ensure a balanced diet. Many
people have the resources to buy only one kind of food.
Although they might be able to complete their appetite, still they
would have complications in their health due to the lack of
nutrients. Therefore, to eliminate this foe, we have to ensure
that people have the basic knowledge about having a well-
balanced diet. But these would help those who have the money
to buy their food. Now, let us discuss the form of malnutrition
that has been the scariest and most dominating in our country,
undernourishment.
Undernourishment is affecting around 14 per cent of the Indian
population. An estimate suggests that one-third of the earth's
malnourished children live in India. This is not good, as this
number is ever-increasing and we have to stop this. But how
can we tackle this huge bane? The answer is simple,
Together .
