      abstract = {Using household-level data from consumer expenditure  surveys, this paper examines the dynamics of nutritional  insecurity, for both rural and urban populations at  all-India level and across states. In 1993-94, about 61 per  cent of the rural and 54 per cent of the urban population  was calorie deficient. In 2011-12, the prevalence of  calorie deficient rural population increased by 5.2  percentage points, and urban population by about 1.5  percentage points. Across income classes, we observe  incidence of calorie deficiency declining with an increase  in income, but it also exists even among the rich  households. Comparatively, the prevalence of protein  deficiency is less severe. The spatial patterns of  nutritional insecurity show a higher prevalence of calorie  deficiency in states with lower incidence of poverty.  Further, we find little, if any, evidence of a change in  regional patterns of inequality in nutritional insecurity  in the past two decades.},
