- Impact Area
- Stunting prevalence in India is high (38.4%) and varies considerably across districts (from 12.4% to 65.1%)
- 239 of the 640 districts in India have stunting levels above 40% and 202 have prevalence of 30–40%
- High‐stunting districts are heavily clustered in the north and centre of the country
- Inter-district differences in stunting are strongly explained by a multitude of economic, health, hygiene, and demographic factors
