Childhood is an important phase in human life span and it should be protected at any cost, because during the childhood, a child has to get all the essential inputs. The healthy food, happiness, recreation, love, care, affection etc., are prominent among them. If any one of the things is missing, even partially, the desired outcomes cannot be expected from the child. The social institutions have crucial role to bring up the children positively. However, many of our children are unable to live comfortably and happen to face many problems in their life. Some of them are not attending the schools, few are roaming in the streets and others suffer with the underweight. Though, many programmes of India are focusing on the welfare of the children and we are not in a position to reach the most wanted results. The health is a compact mechanism because; healthy individual can contribute their best in institution building process. In this context, a considerable proportion of the children are born in India with low weight due to under-nutrition. Even though it is related to health dimensions but the socioeconomic factors are involved much in it. The ignorance of the mothers and the prevailing social phenomena are still playing significant roles in malnutrition of the children. In this context, the paper throws its light on the issue on the basis of an empirical study.
