Supplementary feeding programs in India may fail because of the inferior social status of the Indian woman. She commonly suffers from malnutrition, nutrient deficiency, neglect and illiteracy; pregnant women show poor weight gain during pregnancy and birthweights of their infants are low. Males have higher life expectancies than women in India, in comparison to other countries, and India has an extremely low sex ratio, with only 925 females per 1000 males. Both nutritionists and nutrition program administrators need to view the Indian woman as an individual rather than solely as a mother; changed attitudes should act to increase the socioeconomic position of women in India.
