Showing concern for the number of malnourished children in the state, the Maharashtra State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (MSCPCR) had asked the district women and child development officers to file a status report on malnourished children in the state last year. Officers had also been asked to submit the detailed action report taken in order to eradicate
the problem.
