NGOs are pivotal in addressing global issues, notably health, with malnutrition being a significant concern, especially in rural areas. Child malnutrition is alarming in some regions, emphasizing the importance of child and maternal health worldwide. While India has effective health policies, NGOs like the Akshaya Patra Foundation and the Ramakrishna Mission complement governmental efforts. The Ramakrishna Mission prioritizes health, believing in eradicating hunger and understanding the link between nutrition and well-being. Emphasizing rural child, adolescent, and maternal health, it exemplifies health as a pillar of social progress.
