In India, the problem of under nutrition, especially in vulnerable women and children, has been the main focus of nutritional study. There is some indication that India is experiencing a changing nutritional landscape. Statistics from other emerging nations show that increasing urbanization and advances in economic development cause under- and over nutrition in the populace at the same time in many resource-poor situations (Blomgren, J. et.al. 2004). Less striking improvements have been made to the population's nutritional status (NIH, 1989). India is home to more than half of the world's undernourished people, indicating only modest progress in reducing under nutrition rates (Griffiths PL, 2001).
