There is high prevalence of protein calorie malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies in India, particularly in growing children and women. This is understandable since cereal-based Indian diets are qualitatively deficient in micronutrients due to low intake of vegetables, fruits, pulses and foods of livestock origin. Apart from micronutrients, livestock-based foods are good source of high quality protein. Amongst foods of livestock origin, poultry egg is most promising in terms of cost benefit ratio. While the consumption of animal meat in India has declined between 1985 and 2003 that of poultry meat and eggs has increased. This is possible due to tremendous increase in commercial poultry farms. Price of poultry has shown little rise from 1996-2006 due to increased competition, and organised marketing of poultry products simultaneous with remarkable improvements in genetics, nutrition, disease management and housing of birds.

Adolescence is the age of physical and mental development, emotional transition, curiosity, energy, creativity and desire to learn. In developing countries like India, there are strong culturally driven social biases, which deprive adolescent girls of educational opportunities and full expression of genetic potential. Families view girls as burden due to the oppressive dowry system and tend to reject them from birth, and even eliminate them resulting in low sex ratio. Early marriage and child bearing, stunts their physical and mental growth, and adversely impacts their health and nutrition. It is an insidious form of child labour. With proper nurturing and empowerment, adolescent girls can become a valuable human resource for nation building. As future mothers they can be good agents of change. India has a high burden of under-nutrition, particularly in children, adolescence and pregnant and lactating women, primarily due to inadequate diet.References
