I’ve just shared a post on LinkedIn about the WHO’s updated Healthy Diet Factsheet (26 January 2026). It highlights why nutrition is central to health and development, and why India must act urgently given the rise of processed foods, micronutrient deficiencies, and the double burden of malnutrition. Do take a look — I’d value your thoughts and engagement. linkedin.com/posts/rajan-san… @UNICEFIndia @BMGFIndia @WorldBankIndia @WHO @basantak @GHS @tatatrusts @MinistryWCD @MoHFW_INDIA @fssaiindia
