Question

[114]. Passage: Child nutrition is shaped long before a school meal: a mother's health, breastfeeding, clean water, and diverse home food matter as much as calories served at noon. Stunting reflects chronic undernutrition and repeated infection, not a single missed meal, and it affects learning and immunity for years. Programmes that only distribute grain miss dietary diversity, iron, and sanitation. Effective action therefore links anganwadis, health workers, clean water and parental education, and measures height and development, not only weight on one day. What is the main idea of the passage?
