dc.description.abstractSocial determinants of malnutrition play a significant role in dictating the course of malnutrition outcomes in any population. Sustained efforts to optimize these determinants are indispensable to sustainable changes in the status of nutrition of the affected population. Despite the efforts undertaken, such a high prevalence of child malnutrition in India defies logic. Multiple causes of child mortality exist. Malnutrition accounts for 69% of these under-five deaths in India losing up to US$3.5 trillion loss per year, globally. Understanding the social determinants of malnutrition and its impact on child health is crucial to formulate sound and equity-based policies and interventions yielding fruitful outcomes. The situation has further worsened due to the COVID 19 pandemic. The paper emphasizes gaining cognizance of the grim and longstanding issues of malnutrition, its social determinants, and existing interventions to curb the issue.en_US
