Abstract
Children, our future citizens, form an important segment of any community. They contribute to the vital human potential and in future would impart strength to the national economy and development. Inadequate nutrition in childhood may lead to malnutrition, growth retardation, reduced work capacity and poor mental and social development. Vitamin A is the most limiting nutrient in Indian dietaries and hence vitamin A deficiency is widespread in India and several other developing countries.
