How IMS Act implementation can bring down IMR in Karnataka State? Dr Arun Gupta MD Member, PM’s Council on India Nutrition Challenges Co-Chair Global Council International Baby Food Action Network(IBFAN) and Regional Coordinator Asia

“Inappropriate feeding practices lead to infant malnutrition, morbidity and mortality in our children. Promotion of infant milk substitutes and related products like feeding bottles and teats do constitute a health hazard. Promotion of infant milk substitutes and related products has been more pervasive and extensive than the dissemination of information concerning the advantages of mother’s milk and breastfeeding and contributes to decline in breastfeeding. In the absence of strong interventions designed to protect, promote and support breastfeeding, this decline can assume dangerous proportions subjecting millions of infants to greater risks of infections, malnutrition and death………” Sh. Arjun Singh Minister of Human Resource Development while introducing the Bill read out the Statement of objecives in the Parliament

The criticality of feeding practices is not just children are vulnerable, this time their brain develops very fast. Years of life Brain development Underweight (-2sd) NFHS-3 Over 60 million 1.35 million die by 5 years, 1. million during first year First Year is Critical!

India enacted a Law in :Bill 41 of 1992 was enacted “Infant Milk Substitutes, Feeding Bottles and Infant Foods (Regulation of Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 1992’(IMS Act) It was strengthened by an Amendment in 2003 Cable TV networks Act in 2000 banned all TV ads All Parties supported it.
