Present study was aimed at examining different storage and processing techniques used by farmers in the scarce rainfall zone of Andhra Pradesh. A total of 30 farmers (Maize, Bengal Gram, groundnut and Jowar growing) were purposively selected for the present study by adopting the purposive sampling method. The results found that 100% of farmers used gunny bags for storage of grains and 63 per cent of farmers have utilized the Cold storage facility to store their produce. The farmers stored the maximum quantity of grains for home consumption. The common primary processing techniques used by farmers were dry milling, wet milling and popping for selected grains. Finally, it can be said that nutritional quality of grains is influenced by pre-processing treatments and processes which retain all parts of whole grains as beneficial for health and consumption of highly refined products should be discouraged.Keywords

The present study evaluated the performance of Nutrition Rehabilitation Centers (NRCs) in Telangana State. The information was collected from 12 NRCs in Telangana State decisively by using a structured questionnaire. The study has proposed for a proper and rigorous follow up mechanism to be developed by the Health and ICDS departments. The mechanism of counseling should be strengthened at the NRCs so that mothers will take care of their children and approach for a follow up. A checklist should be prepared for counseling at NRCs. In the absence of the counselor, nursing staff should counsel the mother or some reading material in Telugu should be placed in the counseling area to facilitate better. The cases must be followed up properly. It is suggested to strengthen convergence between health and ICDS departments while discharging the severe acute malnutrition (SAM) child and their follow up. All the follow ups should be recorded and analyzed thoroughly for a better action in future.Keywords

An observational prospective study was conducted at 12 NRCs in Telangana State, where 60 Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) children were recruited. Their socio-demographic details and anthropometric measurements were recorded. These SAM children were followed till the period of 3 follow-up visits to measure their weight. Majority of SAM children belong to rural area, age group less than 3 years, caste OBC (Other Backward Class), ST (Scheduled Tribe) and SC (Scheduled Caste). Outpatient doctors are playing key role in referring them to NRC.Mean scores of weight for age, BMI and MUAC were improved from the time of admission to discharge. Statistical significance found between the mean weight at the time of admission and discharge. Nutritional intervention at NRC decreased the severity of malnourishment among children. NRCs are effective in saving lives of SAM children but not in maintaining long term control on malnutrition.Keywords
