Grass Rotis

24 hours after NDTV aired a report on how villagers in Uttar Pradesh's drought-hit Lalitpur district were consuming rotis made of grass and sabzi of weeds, they were paid a visit by local officials.

In 2012, a Supreme Court-appointed panel found that the quality of food being provided under the Anganwadi scheme in Uttar Pradesh (along with three other states) was sub-standard.

Bundelkhand has been roiled by three successive crop failures - for two years because of drought, and a year in the middle because of unseasonal rain.
