Health, Sanitation and Nutrition
Nutrition and health are the major concerns of rural communities in India. Poor health and malnutrition jeopardise the progress of a society. Rural community in India is facing lack of proper nutrition, safe drinking water and sanitation. One fourth of the population in India have no access to safe or treated drinking water, due to which water borne diseases are affecting their health. Open defecation especially in rural areas is another big challenge. Under government’s flagship programme Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) toilets are being constructed on mass scale, still open defection is still being practised. Due to lack of proper nutrition 50% pregnant women and 59% young children are anaemic.
