The school-going children are the most important segment of the society. Good nutrition of the children is an indispensable component of healthy life. It is also a determinant of healthy growth of mind and body. The tribal people in India have their own life styles, food habits, beliefs, traditions, socio-cultural and biological activities. Lack of proper health education, poverty, faulty feeding habits and irrational beliefs aggravate the health and nutritional status of these under privileged children in India.

Abstract


The school-going children are the most important segment of the society. Good nutrition of the children is an indispensable component of healthy life. It is also a determinant of healthy growth of mind and body. The tribal people in India have their own life styles, food habits, beliefs, traditions, socio-cultural and biological activities. Lack of proper health education, poverty, faulty feeding habits and irrational beliefs aggravate the health and nutritional status of these under privileged children in India.
