      Hi Neeraj
      Good introduction.
      You have tried to cover different dimensions of the topic , appreciable.
      Also write the causes of malnutrition . You can write food & nutrition insecurity, inequality and inadequate dietary intake.
      Rest of the answer is well written.
      Start your sentences with capital alphabets.
      Persistence is the key to success, keep writing, you will succeed.

      Hi Shivali
      First thing, work on presentation, leave some space between the paragraphs.
      Good introduction.
      Write the causes of malnutrition . You can write food & nutrition insecurity, inequality and inadequate dietary intake.
      Update your content with current affairs, mention some initiatives taken by the government to tackle malnutrition like Anemia Mukt Bharat Abhiyan, POSHAN abhiyaan, ICDS etc.
      Conclusion is missing, conclude by mentioning the need for effective implementation of the measures to end the menace of malnutrition.
      Plan the structure before writing.
      Do not get demoralised by the marks, keep writing, you will succeed.
