Investing in the nutrition of the 1.2 billion adolescents (population in the age group of 10-19 years ) will shape the world’s future. A fifth of these adolescents i.e. 253 million live in India.

The CNNS Data Survey provides insights to support healthy growth throughout childhood and adolescence.
