Knowledge in Civil Society or KICS

is a forum for conversations amongst activists and academics on issues relating to science and democracy.

To bring the activists from diverse sectors in civil society and the academics to engage with the hitherto neglected aspects of science and democracy through a process of dialogue, common exploration and joint work.

To promote a dialogue among its members that could lead to a more people friendly science and technology plan.

As a forum or space KICS promotes pro-people alternatives and dissenting viewpoints, allows for articulation of non-conventional views and debates that cannot find easy voice elsewhere. It seeks to open up spaces for public policy on issues relating to science and democracy.

Started in 2005, KICS is an electronic network to connect, share and discuss topics of mutual concern. The forum currently has a main group and a sub-group on agriculture.

Sharing Session# 25: "Producing Under-nutrition" by Dr. Veena Shatrugna

The nutritional status of the poor in India maybe described as alarming. Most of the indicators of nutrition status such as adult weights, heights BMI, percentage of children who are severely malnourished, mean birth weights, infant mortality rates, dietary intakes and unacknowledged starvation deaths confirm this fact. Hunger is as widespread as it is invisible to the scientific eye. The question that must be asked is how did India get into this trap of under nutrition with such serious consequences?
