"We can't deny that there is malnutrition. But, we are trying to bring it down to the minimum level," Social Welfare Minister Louis Marandi said.
Replying to a starred query of Bahujan Samaj Party's Kushwaha Shivpujan Mehta, she said malnutrition level has come down to 22.84 per cent in 2015 from around 56 per cent in 2005-06 and around 42 per cent in 2009-10.
A special campaign was being taken up to make people aware about nutrition, Marandi said.
She termed tackling malnutrition in the state as a challenge and sought cooperation from all members in the House to bring it down.
