India's Hindustan Times reports on "a striking contrast between rising economic prosperity and stagnating rates of malnutrition" in Mumbai, where "80,000 children ... are malnourished, according to government data, a statistic that makes Mumbai the most malnourished city in India." The newspaper writes, "Malnourishment in Mumbai could actually be worse than India believes," because estimates are based "on data provided by Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), a government child-care program that reaches only a quarter of children in the city's slums."
