India, June 1 -- NFHS-6 shows Madhya Pradesh has improved on institutional deliveries, vaccination and women's internet access.

But nearly one in three children under five in the state is still stunted, while four in 10 are underweight.

The share of underweight children has risen from 33% to 39.7%, and wasting has increased from 18.9% to 23.8%.

Only 12% of children aged six to 23 months receive a minimum acceptable diet, while exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months has fallen.

The data also shows a double burden of malnutrition, with undernutrition and obesity now existing alongside rising diabetes risk.
