The document discusses India's history of nutrition programs and current status of malnutrition. It outlines several national programs established since the 1970s to address undernutrition, including the Integrated Child Development Services program, adolescent girls' schemes, and programs focused on micronutrient deficiencies. The document also discusses pitfalls faced in program implementation such as lack of community participation and intersectoral coordination. Current priorities include reducing childhood stunting and anemia prevalence through improved counseling and rehabilitation efforts.
This document discusses anemia prophylaxis programs. It defines anemia and its classifications according to WHO. Globally, anemia affects 30% of people, and 40-90% in developing countries and India. The main causes of increased anemia incidence are poor iron balance pre-pregnancy, improper iron supplementation during pregnancy, repeated childbirths, low socioeconomic status, and infections. Anemia can lead to complications in pregnancy like preterm labor, and complications during labor like postpartum hemorrhage. National programs provide iron and folic acid supplementation to pregnant and lactating women, and children aged 6-60 months. The guidelines recommend expanding the program to include infants aged 6-12 months, school-aged
The Applied Nutritional Programmes were started in India in 1959 to combat malnutrition and improve nutritional status, particularly for mothers and children in rural areas. The objectives were to increase awareness of nutritional needs, promote production and consumption of nutritious foods, and provide supplementary nutrition to vulnerable groups. Activities included setting up kitchen gardens, fish and poultry units to generate income and food. Evaluation studies showed that while the goals were appropriate, the program lacked sufficient investment and coordination, and did not generate the desired awareness or community participation to be fully effective.
The document discusses major nutritional problems in India including communicable diseases, population issues, environmental sanitation, medical care access, and specific deficiencies like anemia, iodine deficiency, obesity, and malnutrition. It notes that while mortality has decreased, undernutrition reduction has been slower. Most children and women suffer from anemia and micronutrient deficiencies. Nutrition is critical for health, development, learning, and breaking cycles of poverty. The document outlines several government programs aimed at improving nutrition, including ICDS, vitamin A supplementation, anemia prophylaxis, and iodine deficiency disorder control. It discusses the objectives, beneficiaries, and implementation of these programs.
CARE is an international humanitarian organization founded in 1945 that operates 880 projects in 90 countries. It is led by Secretary General Wolfgang Jamann and Deputy Secretary General Abby Maxman. CARE delivers emergency relief and long-term development programs, reaching over 72 million people in 2014. It focuses on issues like emergency response, food security, water, education, and health. CARE began operating in India in 1950 and has funded various programs there like school meals, healthcare, and vocational training.
The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme was initiated in 1975 to improve nutritional and health status of children under 6 years, pregnant and lactating mothers. It provides supplementary nutrition, immunization, health checkups, referral services, and non-formal preschool education. The scheme is implemented through Anganwadi centers by Anganwadi workers with support from helpers, ASHA workers, and the health department. Over the years it has expanded its coverage and enhanced services but continues to face issues like irregular food supply and lack of community participation.
Malnutrition is poor nutrition due to an insufficient, poorly balanced diet, faulty digestion or poor utilization of foods. (This can result in the inability to absorb foods).
Malnutrition is not only insufficient intake of nutrients. It can occur when an individual is getting excessive nutrients as well.
Nutrition education aims to improve nutritional status and overall well-being. It can take various approaches like information dissemination, facilitating healthy behaviors, and environmental changes. The goals are to develop personal skills and motivation for healthy eating, influence policies to promote access to nutritious foods, and improve nutritional status in communities. Nutrition educators work to increase awareness, enhance motivation, facilitate action, and improve supports through various activities and by collaborating with other professionals and organizations.

Prevention and follow up of malnutritionShaan Ahmed
Malnutrition requires prevention, treatment, and long-term follow up. Children should be followed up to 2-5 years after discharge to monitor growth, development, and prevent long term issues. Treatment may fail if feed is improperly prepared, inadequate, or not taken properly. Multilevel actions are needed including nutrition education, breastfeeding promotion, improved family diets, and coordinated programs at family, community, national, and international levels.
Lactation is the production of breast milk to nourish infants for the first 6 months. Breast milk provides perfect nutrition for babies and lowers risks of infections, allergies, obesity and more. It also aids bonding and helps mothers' health by contracting the uterus and easing weight loss. Nutrient requirements increase during lactation, especially calories by 500 per day, protein, vitamins A, C and the B complex, calcium and fluids. Mothers should eat a balanced diet, check with their doctor before using medications and limit caffeine.
National iodine deficiency disorder control programmeShan Damrolien
The document discusses India's National Iodine Deficiency Disorder Control Programme. It outlines that iodine is an essential nutrient needed in small amounts daily for thyroid hormone production and optimal growth and development. Iodine deficiency was historically a major public health problem worldwide due to low iodine levels in soil and food sources. India established the National Goiter Control Programme in 1962 and renamed it the National Iodine Deficiency Disorders Control Programme in 1992 to promote universal salt iodization as a means of ensuring daily iodine intake and eliminating iodine deficiency disorders. Surveys show iodized salt consumption has increased significantly nationwide but further efforts are still needed in some states.
The document discusses nutrition and malnutrition in India. It notes that India has a large population with many people living in rural areas with low socioeconomic status and illiteracy. From a nutritional perspective, most Indians are undernourished, with only a small group being well-fed. Common nutritional deficiencies in India include protein-energy malnutrition, anemia, and vitamin A deficiency. The causes of malnutrition are multi-factorial and include poverty, lack of awareness, population growth, and cultural influences. The document outlines various types of undernutrition and overnutrition, their signs and symptoms, and prevention strategies. It also discusses several government programs aimed at improving nutrition.
Undernutrition is the leading cause of illness and death globally, accounting for millions of deaths per year especially in young children. India has numerous direct and indirect government programs to address undernutrition, including the Integrated Child Development Services scheme, midday meal programs, and programs focused on vitamin and mineral deficiencies. These programs aim to improve nutrition, health, and development outcomes for children, pregnant women, and other at-risk groups. However, undernutrition remains a major challenge and continued efforts are needed to meet national nutritional goals.
Balwadi is a rural pre-primary school program for children aged 3 to 6 years old to help prepare them for formal schooling. It is run by the local village community with minimal funding. Parents send children with packed lunches that are shared family-style to promote self-sufficiency and break down caste barriers. Young local women serve as teachers trained in informal early education methods focusing on nursery rhymes, shapes, colors, and values to develop vocabulary and social skills. The flexible schedule accommodates seasonal work while cultivating environmentally aware community among both students and teachers.
Balwadis are preschools that provide education and recreational activities to children aged 2.5 to 5 years. They are usually run by local women through Mahila Mandals. Balwadis offer regular programs for parents on childcare, health, and nutrition as well as medical checkups for the children. Cultural programs celebrated include Independence Day, Children's Day, and Teachers' Day. The Balwadi Nutrition Program provides 300 calories and 10 grams of protein per day to around 2.25 lakh children attending the 5641 balwadis across India. This supplementary feeding aims to improve nutrition for preschool-aged children.

Standardization is a process used to make rates such as mortality rates comparable between populations with different age distributions. There are two main methods: direct standardization which applies the age-specific rates of the populations to a standard population, and indirect standardization which calculates a standardized mortality ratio by taking the ratio of observed to expected deaths based on a standard population's rates. Standardization allows unbiased comparison of health outcomes between groups after removing the effect of differences in age composition.

• Nutrition affects growth and development of a person. At
least the development of International Standards and
national legislation, are essential to protect and promote
national food security and public health. Civil society will
have to play a more active role. The concept of food
security must be recaptured and reframed in public and
environment terms.
• The National and the State governments have been
implementing a number of poverty alleviation
programmes for the overall socioeconomic development
of the community and several nutrition programmes to
mitigate the sufferings of the vast multitudes of the
population at risk.
63. Continued….
• For the purpose of deciding policies and to
formulate programmes to control and prevent
malnutrition, it is essential to assess What?
Where? How? and Why? of the nutrition
problems in the country. Monitoring of the
nutritional status of population, therefore,
becomes an important aspect of any nutrition
programmes to assess the impact of these
massive inputs and to determine the direction in
which the community’s nutrition is progressing,
so as to initiate appropriate corrective actions.
