‘Very impressive’: Bill Gates gives India ‘A’ rating for its focus on solving malnutrition problem

Washington: Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has said he would give India “an A” for its focus on solving the problem of malnutrition. “Well, India, for its income level, acknowledges that some of these nutritional indicators are weaker than it would like. That kind of frankness and focus on it, I think is very impressive,” Gates told PTI in an interview.

He said India is more focused on the issue than any other government, Gates said. “It’s using the public feeding system and the Midday Meal System to try and get fortified foods out, but it’s still a huge opportunity,” Gates said. “I would give India an A for focus on the problem,” he said.

Responding to a question on the occasion of the launch of the Gates Foundation’s Goalkeepers Report 2024, Gates said: “I think it probably would rate itself maybe a B for the education but with the real serious intent to do even better.”
