Over the last five months, 176 children have died of malnutrition in the tribal region of Melghat in Maharashtra. Melghat had shot to notoriety in the 1990s for child deaths. But why does this problem still persist? Villagers in the tribals in Melghat are totally dependant on the land. Even during the lean period when farm work runs out, there are few jobs to be had on the employment guarantee scheme.
