TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined individual, household, and community level factors affecting neonatal mortality in rural India and found that the odds of neonatal death were lower for infants born to mothers with secondary level education compared to those born to illiterate mothers.

TL;DR: The results show that between 1992-93 and 2005-06, the prevalence of childhood undernutrition has declined across household wealth quintiles and educational level of mothers, but the pace of decline is much higher among the better-off socioeconomic groups than among the least-affluent groups.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that children belonging to poor households are undernourished due to limited use of health care services, poor health of mothers, and poor educational status of their parents, and improving the public services such as basic health care and the education level of the mothers among urban poor can ameliorate the negative impact of poverty on childhood undernutrition.
