Inequality in wealth among tribal families in Jharkhand and Odisha has affected poor children’s growth.
Children from poor tribal families in these States were stunted, underweight and appeared wasted (height for weight).
The observation was made based on an analysis of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) between 2006 and 2021 by a team of researchers from the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Indian Institute of Technology- Madras.
