According to WHO, almost 19,000 children under five years of age are
dying every day across the world. India tops the list of countries with
the highest number with around 18 lakh such deaths annually. For India,
despite it being one of the fastest growing economies, there has been no
visible pattern between per capita income growth and the rate of
reduction of child mortality rates. One-third of all malnourished
children live in India. Of the 26 million children born in India every
year, approximately 1.83 million children die before their fifth
birthday.
