Nepal malnutrition rate highest in world
KATHMANDU: Malnutrition is emerging as a major threat to achieve Millennium Development Goal (MDG) to Nepal.
Forty-one districts are reeling under acute food deficit and the rest have marginal surplus of 10 per cent, thanks to poverty, says a Food
Security Monitoring Task Force report.
Thirty-one per cent population lives below poverty line, 41 per cent people consume less than minimum calorie requirement and more than half of the population can’t find full dietary intake of 2,144 calories per day, mentions the report, adding Nepal suffers the highest malnutrition rate in the world. Vice-Chairman of National Planning Commission Dr Jagdish Chandra Pokharel said the micro-nutrient deficiency could not be abolished till 2015 which would make Nepal unable to meet the MDG.
