More than 40 per cent of India's 61 million children are malnourished, prompting the prime minister to declare the problem a "national shame".
A recent report reveals that levels are twice that of sub-Saharan Africa, making every third malnourished child in the world an Indian.
India has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and runs one of the largest child feeding programmes.
But critics say only a fraction of aid reaches the needy.
