An estimated 50 percent of children in the National Capital Territory of Delhi are undernourished, but a State Food Commission that can address the problem has not been set up.
The Food Security Act of 2013 stipulates the setting up of food commissions in the states to monitor mid-day meals served in government schools and supplementary nutrition provided in anganwadis, which are mother and child care centres.
It has been more than three years since the enactment of the law, but the state government is yet to appoint a commission even though malnourishment in Delhi is well. . .
