This is particularly true for India today because we currently have the largest ever global cohort of children in the history of mankind. Interventions to improve child nutrition, child health and child development are therefore of utmost importance to the country. India has been in the forefront of research to document the dimensions and determinants of child nutrition and development and conceptualising and planning appropriate interventions for improving child nutrition. These have resulted in a slow but steady reduction in the prevalence of under-nutrition in children. There have been huge interstate differences in terms of initial status of children, the coverage and content of the interventions and improvement in the nutritional status of children. These aspects have been exhaustively dealt within this book. In order to accelerate the pace of improvement in nutritional status, we have to learn from the errors in the past and build on the success achieved. The rich experiences shared in this volume will be of immense help in this direction. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—Dr Prema Ramchandran\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e   \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDirector, Nutrition Foundation of India, New Delhi.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Author(s) \/ Editor(s)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShreeranjan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehas had long career in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and has held key positions of responsibility and leadership in various departments and Ministries in both the State Government and Government of India.
