<b>Half of India's kids are malnourished </b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->With about 46 percent of children underweight — a negligible improvement over the last survey, conducted in 1998-99 — India is in the same league as nations like Burkina Faso and Cambodia. In China, Asia's other rising economic power and the country India so often compares itself with, only 8 percent of children are underweight.

The improved infant mortality rate — down to 57 per 100,000 births from 68 in 1998-99 — remains dramatically higher than that seen in Western nations, such the Netherlands, where it is 4.

In every category where a comparison between the health of people in the countryside and cities was offered, those in rural areas lagged far behind. The rural infant mortality rate, for example, was 62 per 100,000, compared to 42 the in urban areas.
.........
According to Friday's data, nearly 51 percent of women made at least three visits to the doctor when they were pregnant, up from 44 percent in 1998-99. Some 41 percent has children in a hospital or clinic, up from about 34 percent in the last survey.

Some 57 percent of Indian women who are or have been married have heard about        HIV — a big jump from the 40 percent reported in 1998-99 but still likely to be criticized as far too low for a country's with 5.7 million people infected with the disease, the most in the world.

The data also indicated that a much higher percentage of men in the same group — 80 percent — had heard about the disease. No comparison with the data from previous surveys was offered for men.
