The Nava Karnataka Vision 2025, released in March 2018, speaks of improving the access to medical services, safe drinking water and improved sanitary conditions. The vision document also points out the behavioural development communication for improved behaviours among the stakeholders towards their health and nutrition intake as an important step to improve nutritional levels apart from improving the livelihoods safety network to improve the purchasing power.
The exercise looked into the detailed expenditure across schemes and districts of the state. The exercise was also correlated with the child development indicators (NFHS 4, DHDR 2014 and other relevant data) to understand the targeting of the nutrition expenditure. A framework on financing for nutrition was evolved after completing a detailed policy and expenditure analysis.
