tribal family have been declared malnourished by a team of the city's civic
administration doctors, local media reported. India, home to millions of
underfed children despite its flourishing economy, will have eradicated
malnutrition by 2015, the country's health minister said. A government survey
released this year however found that 46 percent of children under the age of
three years were undernourished. [Reuters]
