New Delhi: World Bank President Jim Yong Kim today met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discussed Indian government’s initiatives on nutrition and renewable energy.

Kim, who visited an anganwadi centre here on Wednesday to get a sense of India's intervention in child nutrition, is also meeting finance minister Arun Jaitley.

The visit is to review projects and understand first-hand India's efforts on renewable energy and nutrition, a World Bank statement had said ahead of Kim's arrival.

"India is the world's fastest-growing economy and also home to 26 per cent of the global extreme poor. This means India has a great opportunity to make strong and sustained inroads to reducing poverty and helping lead the world in ending extreme poverty by 2030," Kim had said in the statement.
