Nutrition Programme –
This was a pilot study conducted for one year, from 1st April 2008 to 31st April 2009, to establish the incident rate of mild/moderate malnutrition for children less than 5 years of age for selected Preschool institutes within the Deoband Constituency of Saharanpur district. The total number of sample studies was 150 children. This study concluded that there is mild to moderate cases of malnutrition among the under 5 years old (60% of the total sample) and we recommend to the parents to breastfeed their children for about 6 months from birth, cover children with mosquito nets when sleeping, boil untreated water and provide appropriate nourishment to their children.
We now look forward to expanding our program to cover a wider area within Saharanpur District.
