Abstract

This study assesses the vulnerability of the population towards nutrient inadequacy as a measure to eradicate malnutrition or hidden hunger. By examining nutrient deficiency, we observe that calorie intake is insufficient among rural households of BIMARU state, especially for marginal landholding households and disadvantaged caste groups. Higher numbers of households were reported vulnerable to deficiency than currently deficient. The findings indicate that the situation might worsen in the future, and thus policies must focus on vulnerable groups.
