Under nutrition is a critical worldwide public health problem that has urged nations to ensure Zero Hunger and pave the way for its people's Good Health and Well-being as steps toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Sponsor a child and save malnourished children. Through childhood rescue, protect children from malnutrition you will children a healthy future. • Although India has been making a modest progress in the maternal and child health and nutrition sector for the past few years, a lot needs to be done to be at par with the global standards. According to the recently published data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 2019-21, the fifth in the series, significant improvements in critical maternal and child-related indicators are not observed. The data shows that the percentages of severely wasted children under five, obesity among children and adolescents, anaemia among children within the age group of 6-59 months and anaemic women aged 15- 19 years have increased from the previous survey (NFHS 4, 2015-16), calling the attention of the policymakers and other stakeholders.

SAVE MALNOURISHED CHILDREN • Adding to the concern, the ongoing pandemic poses an increased threat to maternal and child under nutrition and compels us to reflect on the cause-and-effect factor while reanalysing the interventions and delivery mechanisms. With yet another COVID-19 wave expected to hit the country, the uncertain and unexpected movement restrictions may again make it difficult for the people to access crucial healthcare and its related services, thereby leading to a further regression. • Sponsor a child and save malnourished children. Through childhood rescue, protect children from malnutrition you will children a healthy future. Therefore, it has become crucial, now more than ever, to channel our attention towards addressing these critical issues prevailing in the country. World Vision India, as an organisation, is committed to child well-being in the country and has been actively engaging with communities across the nation through various projects that have benefitted thousands of children. Being a child-focused organisation, child health and nutrition programmes are carried out in multiple locations that cater to the children and their mothers and adolescents.

Behaviour change communication (BCC) to mothers and key decision-makers in the family is an effective strategy to address the issue of malnutrition as most of the feeding, caring and health-seeking activities are carried out by them. World Vision (WV) India has been implementing various proven models to bring positive behaviour change at the community level. Since 2017, WV India has implemented this first-of- its-kind model in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, and West Bengal. In Odisha, the model was implemented at the block level, whereas it was implemented only in the primary focus areas in the other three states. This research was carried out in Odisha to find out the potency of the model with its objective to improve Maternal and Child Health and Nutrition (MCHN).
