3. Introduction
• Nutrition:-
It is a branch of science which deals
with study of dynamic process in which the
consumed food is utilized for nourishment of
body.
• Nutritional status of a person not only
determined by quality & quantity of food
intake but also by physical health.
4. Continued….
• Under nutrition is by far most important single
cause of illness & death globally accounting
for 12% of all deaths & 16 % of disability-
adjusted life years lost. Low weight for age is
associated more than half of all deaths in
young children accounting for more than 6
million deaths per year.
• Malnutrition has multi-factorial causation
that are;
5. Causes of

DEFICIENCYDISORDER
• The production of Goitre attracts the maximum
attention & hence the national programme was
named as Goitre control Programme.
• The National Goitre control program was
launched by the government of India in 1962 in
the Goitre belt in the Himalayan region and
iodized salt was supplied in Goitre endemic
areas.
37. Continued….

Program because the problem was found to be
widespread and more than the problem of Goitre.

• Reduce prevalence of iodine deficiency
disorders to less than 5%.
49. Current Status
• Supplementary food should be viewed and
used only as a vehicle for providing other
services under the ICDS scheme.
• Supplementary foods should be cereal based,
palatable and of good quality.
• Fortification of foods with micronutrients: it
should be mainly considered with iron and
iodine.

most areas.
• Lack of inter sectorial co-ordination.
• Intersectoral coordination becomes essential in
projects, which extends over the geographical area
covered by more than one primary health center.
• Determinants of low health & nutritional status are
not tackled under many scheme.
• Selection & motivation of Anganwadi worker may
be unsatisfactory.
52. Continued….
• Nutrition supplementation posses many
problems. (Logistic difficulties i.e if fuel is not available,
children do not get hot food)
• Coverage of expectant & nursing mothers is not
satisfactory under the scheme.
• In the large number of activities, children 0-3
years, the most vulnerable age group , do not
get adequate attention.

supplements is many times irregular &
unsatisfactory.

in honorariums, absorption into government
service & permanent status.
• the location of Anganwadi may not be suitable.
• With both parents working in the fields they may
have problem taking the child or bringing back
from Anganwadi, which is open. Only a part of
the day.
54. Continued….
• This overburdening with responsibilities result
in decrease in quality of work & coverage.
• The training of aganwadi workers has been
unsatisfactory at places, as expansion outstrip
training intakes.
• The supplies are not are not regular & below
standard.
• Misuse of funds.

58. Legislations Related to Nutrition/
Food
• Prevention of Food
Adulteration Act, 1954
• Food Safety & Standards
Act, 2006
60. • Strategies should be to close the gap between the
resources available & families who need them by
working closely with the Govt. to focus on
malnutrition awareness, identification , treatment, &
prevention & inserting simple but innovative
technologies & practices.
• The Government of India’s National Nutrition Policy,
apart from setting nutrition goals to control and
prevent malnutrition in the country, recommended
that a national nutrition surveillance system should be
developed.
61. Conclusion
• Malnutrion is a man made disease.
• Under nutrition continues to be a widespread
problem in India, despite significant
improvement in food production and
advancement in science during the last fifty
years, since Indian independence.
62. Continued….
• 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.

Notas do Editor
Above mentioned causes are responsible for high prevelence of protein energy malnutrition & other nutritional deficiency.
Nutritional survey:-
When nutritional status of different group of person or community is taken it is called nutritional survey.
Rules are updated by central committee for Food Standards.
