Basic causes

MALNUTRITION is defined as the insufficient or imbalanced consumption of nutrients. Several different nutrition disorder may develop depending on which nutrients are lacking.

Malnutrition is Faulty nutrition resulting from

• malabsorption

• Poor diet or over eating Inadequate

access to food

43% of Indian children under five years are underweight and 48 % (i.e. 61 million children) are stunted due to chronic under nutrition, India accounts for more than 3 out of every 10 stunted children in the world.

The percentage of children who are severely underweight is almost 5 times higher among children whose mothers have no education than among children whose mothers have 12 or more years of schooling.

Under nutrition is more common for children of mothers who are undernourished themselves (i.e. body mass index below 18.5) than for children whose mothers are not undernourished.

India has the highest number of low birth weight babies per year at an estimated 7.4 million.

Vitamin and mineral deficiency are highly prevalent throughout the country. More than one third of the world’s children who are wasted live in India.

ILLITERACY SPECIALLY IN WOMEN

POOR ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES

LACK OF AVAILABILITY OF SAFE DRINKING WATER

POOR SANITATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND LOW PURCHASING POWER ETC.

EARLY MARRIAGES OF GIRLS

TEENAGE PREGNANCIES RESULTING IN LOW BIRTH WEIGHT OF THE NEWBORNS

POOR BREAST FEEDING PRACTICES

POOR COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING PRACTICES

IGNORANCE ABOUT NUTRITIONAL NEEDS OF INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN .

CAUSES OF THE PROBLEM

INDIA AT THE ALARMING STAGE The world bank estimates that India is ranked 2nd in the world of

the number of children suffering from malnutrition. We have them living around us, in our neighbourhood.

UN estimates that 2.1 million Indian children die before reaching age of 5 every year.

Every second a child falls into the hands of malnutrition

And for every 5 seconds a child dies.

Reason for selecting specific cause: The first and foremost cause of malnutrition is the illiteracy and lack of awareness especially in women Teen pregnancy and poor breastfeeding practices results in low birth weight(BMI) and defects in child. So our solution is to eradicate malnutrition at the initial stage itself(pregnant women). Also we provide measures to enrich the child growth at school level.

MOTHER’S

HOME

INTRODUCING

MORNING MEAL SCHEME

A census of pregnant women is taken in all the region and a “mother’s home” is built up in dense populated area.

MOTHER’S HOME is the place which provides daily enriched food and vitamin supplementation( fruits, vegetables)for women.

Monitoring the entire cycle of pregnancy by observing the growth and stimulation of the fetus . (health monitoring card is provided)

Transportation facilities are provided to pregnant ladies in order to come to mothers home and also for their ANC check up.

Training for small scale jobs(handcrafts items , weaving basket , etc.,) are given to them (2 hrs /day) and given a stipend monthly in order to eradicate poverty.

Breast feeding awareness and complementary food instructions are given primarily.

Among the 3 course of meal we take, breakfast seems to provide the most effective form of energy

Providing Breakfast in primary government schools will enrich the growth of the children.

This scheme has to be monitored by health sector instead of human resource development.

MORNING MEAL SCHEME: Breakfast-as the name indicates is about breaking the 12 hour fasting.

Poor children get to school because of mid day meal scheme. But that one should under that Breakfast provides ultimate nutrition content, controls cholesterol level, improves concentration, terminates ulcer and also other vitamin deficiencies..

EXISTING ALTERNATIVE

Money scheme fails because of usage of money in any other way

Food items provided by the government at present is not at good quality, poor infrastructure in kitchen shed.

Irregularity in serving meals, abnormality in supply of food grains to school, caste based discrimination in serving foods

Awareness program and camp are not effective. Improper breast feeding practise .
