Abstract

With the passage of time the question of “Right to health” has emerged as one of the most discussed issues at Domestic and International level. Various laws and policies have been enacted time and again to protect children’s “Right to health” by the central and state government but the rise in malnutrition cases and mortality rates is the most important issue prevailing all across the globe in the contemporary times. The   paper analyses The Right to Adequate Health from International and constitutional perspective referring to the idea of welfare state. Additionally, it analyses the Outcomes of Food insecurity leading to crime in children and adolescents. Further provides 2 case studies which show how poverty and hunger became a reason for delinquent behaviour in child. At last, it provides an analysis of Poshan Abhiyan Scheme and UK Food Security Report of 2022.
