How is Kerala planning to prevent child deaths linked to malnutrition and neglect? Explained
Kerala will conduct a statewide vulnerability mapping to pinpoint children living in conditions that threaten their health, education and safety. The exercise aims to identify those at risk of malnutrition and neglect, record their details, and implement regular monitoring and follow‑up actions to reduce child mortality linked to these factors.
