In India, the lack of multi sectoral convergence is a barrier to successful implementation of many programmes. The working group agreed to do an analysis of existing policies, acts and constitutional provisions of the country and evaluate those in the following areas :-

(1) Dietary intake
(2) nutrition sensitive agriculture
(3) terms of trade
(4) vulnerable population
(5) sustainability.
