      Good attempt, your answer is content rich.
      Introduction is good, data pointed out by NFHS is also mentioned. Child malnutrition attributing to 68.2% of under-five child mortality can be mentioned.
      In role of NNM, your points are fine but some good points can be picked and added from the article mentioned- align different ministries to work in tandem on the “window of opportunity” of the first 1,000 days in life (270 days of pregnancy and 730 days; 0-24 months); holistic approach to maternal-child health services which includes women empowerment etc
      Suggestions are fine, increasing awareness for exclusive breast feeding and complementary feeding practices can be added.
      Conclusion is fine.
      Keep practicing. 🙂

      Hello

      Introduction is fine, too much space is given to mentioning NFHS data which restricts other parts of the answer. Just mentioning child malnutrition indicators would be fine(stunting, wasting, anaemic etc) ; child malnutrition attributing to 68.2% of under-five child mortality can be mentioned.
      Since this is a 15 marker, next two parts can be elaborated a bit. Rebranding NNM as Poshan abhiyan and now Poshan 2.0 with mission mode focus can be talked about, use of ICT, promotion of nutritious food, aligning different ministries to work in tandem on the “window of opportunity” of the first 1,000 days in life (270 days of pregnancy and 730 days; 0-24 months) can be mentioned.. Further some data/achievements regarding the points you have mentioned can be included.
      Way forward is fine, increasing awareness for exclusive breast feeding and complementary feeding practices can be added.
      Keep practicing. Try to write 2.5-3 pages for a 15 marker. 🙂
