Child stunting (under 5)
Modi aheadNo comparable cross-country series exists for this measure, so no synthetic counterfactual can be estimated. The verdict here compares observed Indian figures over time — a weaker basis than the estimated indicators.

What this measures
Child stunting (under 5), in % of children. A falling number is an improvement. Reported by World Bank WDI.
It stood at 38.70 in 2014, and under Modi’s current India reached 35.50 by 2024 — a fall of 8%. That is an improvement against India’s pre-2014 figure.
No comparison country reports an equivalent series, so there is no Rahul's India to compare against. This is a before-and-after reading, not a treatment effect.

Why no counterfactual
no balanced pre-2014 window — India has too few observations for a balanced donor block.
